indicated that a National Core Indicator for accessibility has been provided in the Local Development Framework (LDF) Monitoring Good Practice Guide published in March 2005. Although this indicator was not included in the Core Output Indicators for Regional Planning published at the same time, CLG state that its use at the LDF level will enable it to be used for RSS monitoring, although it is acknowledged that this was too late to inform this Report. Policy 49: Regional Heavy Rail Investment Priorities DfT Rail, Network Rail, Local Authorities, public bodies and train operating companies should work to achieve an increase in rail passenger kilometres at the Regional level towards the national target of 50% by 2010 Targets: • Punctuality and reliability of rail services improved to at least 85% by 2006 and further improved by 2008 Indicators: • Punctuality and reliability of services Results: Growth in Rail Patronage - significant effect indicator Figure 7.3 - Regional Growth Index in rail patronage - East Midlands and England: 1995/96-2004/05 Data Analysis 7.26 Rail patronage in the East Midlands increased by 60% from 1995/96 to 2004/05, compared to growth of 38% in England. Policy Commentary 7.27 The welcome increase in punctuality appears to have been a contributory factor in encouraging increased rail patronage. However, there is an urgent need to consider longer term growth and identify how the network can be improved to cater for this. This is particularly important given the usually long lead times involved in delivering significant capacity improvements. Policy 50: Regional Priorities for Bus and Light Rail Services Local Authorities, public bodies and service providers should work in partnership to increase the level of bus and light rail patronage at the Regional level towards the national target of 12% by 2010 Source: Strategic Rail Authority and Office of Rail Regulation Regional Transport Statistics (2006) Targets: • To increase the level of bus and light rail patronage at the Regional level towards the national target of 12% by 2010 Indicators: • Level of bus and light rail patronage (number of boardings) Results: 7.28 In 2004/05 there were 208 million (200 million bus and 8 million tram) bus and light rail journeys in the East Midlands, compared with 211 million in 2005/06 (201 million bus and 10 million tram). There has therefore been an increase in the number of journeys made by public transport, particularly on the tram in Nottingham. 7.29 According to the DfT Survey of Bus Operators, the number of bus vehicle kilometres has decreased from 164 million in 2001/02 to 151 million in 2005/06, although this is a slight increase on the 2004/05 figure of 150 million kilometres.

Figure 7.4 - Bus and light rail journeys in the East Midlands (Millions) Source: DfT Transport Statistics East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 Data Analysis 7.30 The 2005/06 information on bus and light rail journeys in the East Midlands shows an increase in the use of public transport compared to 2004/05 but still remains below the number of journeys taken by public transport in 2000/01. The Nottingham tram system (which has only one line) has shown a growth in patronage, with 10 million journeys being undertaken in 2005/06 compared to 8 million in 2004/05. Policy Commentary 7.31 The national target of 12% growth in bus and light rail patronage is lower than the growth anticipated in road traffic over a comparable period and therefore represents a decline in the mode share of the former. It seems extremely unlikely that growth levels of the order necessary to achieve an actual increase in public transport mode share will occur without substantial changes involving both regulatory and financial reforms.The most effective reforms will require the active support of central Government, involving changes to the transport and planning regimes, as well as in other areas of activity. Policy 51: Regional Priorities for Integrating Public Transport Development Plans, future Local Development Frameworks and Local Transport Plans should: • promote the development of multi-modal through ticketing initiatives and the integration of public and other transport services supporting health, education and social care • promote the development of a hierarchy of public transport interchange facilities at key locations, starting with the Principal Urban Areas and Sub-Regional Centres • promote safe and convenient access on foot and by cycle to public transport services • consider settlements with existing or proposed public transport interchange facilities as locations for new development • promote the development of new park and ride facilities in appropriate locations to reduce traffic congestion on routes into the Region’s Principal Urban Areas and alongside strategic transport corridors Targets: • Increase in population covered by integrated ticketing schemes Indicators: • Population served by integrated ticketing schemes Results: Data Analysis 7.32 No data has been collected for this regional priority measure since as formulated it gives a confusing message, since the more integrated schemes are the fewer there will be, so that in extremis the whole of the East Midlands would be covered by one scheme. Policy Commentary 7.33 The achievement of a fully integrated public transport system is highly desirable but little progress is being achieved because of a number of significant hurdles, over which local and regional authorities currently have little or no control.The removal of these barriers and their replacement with a regime that positively seeks and encourages greater integration is essential if significant progress is to be made. 126
