Sewta RTP Delivery Plan 2013/141. IntroductionThe Welsh Government requires Sewta to submit a Delivery Plan for the financial year 2013/14that identifies its funding application for capital and revenue monies for the core activity areas ofRegional Transport Plan and Road Safety.The Sewta 2013/14 Delivery Plan has been developed on the basis of the Regional TransportPlan, the emerging Sewta Metro Plus priorities, relevant national / regional strategies, the WelshGovernment’s Delivery Plan Guidelines 2013/14 and written and verbal feedback to the Sewta2013/14 Draft Delivery Schedule submitted to the Welsh Government on 14 th January 2013.As per Welsh Government guidance, Sewta’s total submission for 2013/14 is as follows:• Regional Transport Plan capital programme – £9.773m (of which Active Travel £3.07m andAccess for All £2.557m), plus a reserve list of £14.822m• Road Safety capital programme – £1.830m, plus a reserve list of £0.841m• Road Safety revenue programme – £0.883m• Regional Travel Planning Revenue Grant – £0.080m• Consortia core revenue support - £0.125mAll projects proposed for delivery in 2013/14 have a clear link back to the RTP.They support the vision, some or all of the objectives, the strategy and associated componentstrategies. Further information on the RTP Vision, Objectives, Priorities, Policies and Actions, linksto national/regional strategies, Sewta Corporate Aims and Objectives, and Sewta organisationalarrangements and delivery mechanisms, can be found in the Sewta Business Plan for 2013/14.Further information on the proposals and their regional spatial context can be found in section 7.Further information on appraisal and prioritisation can be found within the relevant sections.Annex 1 contains the overall delivery schedule including capital and revenue expenditure for allelements of the Regional Transport Consortia Grant. Annex 2 provides an overview of the quarterlyspend profiles for each scheme within the programme. This will be updated in April 2013. TheAnnex 3a (i) form contains information on RTP capital schemes within the Regional TransportConsortia Grant, while the Annex 3a (ii) form contains information on Road Safety capitalschemes. The Annex 3b (i) form contains information on RTP revenue expenditure and the Annex3b (ii) form contains information on Road Safety revenue expenditure.2. Regional Transport Plan capital programme2. 1 OverviewThe proposals for the utilisation of the RTP element of the 2013/14 Regional Transport ConsortiaGrant take forward the RTP Five Year Programme, taking into account progress on schemedelivery between 2010/11 and 2012/13.

Theschemes included in these programme will be informed by previous year programmes. Theschemes likely to be included in these programmes are:- Travel Planning Grant – cycle parking, ICT, video conferencing, support for the promotionof organisational walking and cycling (including infrastructure, equipment and smarterchoices). Bids to be invited and evaluated according to guidance by Sewta Walking 7Cycling group.- Access to Rail and Buses – Pedestrian and Cycle linkages to Bus Interchanges and RailStations including infrastructure at stations to support terminating cycling trips. To beprioritised by W&C WG. Will include completion of walk access to Pencoed station.- Community Transport Enhancement – Vehicle Purchase, Installation of Updated BackOffice Systems, HQ building development. Bids to be invited and evaluated according toguidance by Sewta Bus Group.- Bus Stop Upgrade – Upgrade of bus stop facilities including shelters, flags, raised kerbsand timetable cases. To be prioritised through Sewta Bus Group.- Bus Stop Information – Improvements to public transport information, includingcollaboration on printed timetables and maps, electronic information and real timeinformation. To be prioritised by Sewta Bus Group.- Interchange Enhancement – Enhanced facilities at key transport interchanges includinginformation, access, infrastructure (shelters) and public announcement systems. To beprioritised by Sewta Rail and Bus Groups.2.3 AppraisalAll schemes within the RTP Activity Area are in support of the RTP actions, policies and priorities,and therefore help to deliver the RTP objectives, wider goals and vision, and thereby with the keyissues identified in the RTP, also help to deliver the Wales Transport Strategy Outcomes and theWales Spatial Plan Strategic Themes.Section 3.5 of the RTP shows how the RTP objectives and priorities link with the key issuesidentified in the RTP, the WTS Outcomes and the WSP Strategic Themes. Appendix C of the RTPshows how each RTP action and policy links to the RTP priorities, objectives and wider goals andto the WTS Outcomes and Priorities. The Annex 3a & 3b form in Appendix 3 & 4 providesupporting evidence to support the individual proposed interventions.2.4 Prioritisation- 5 -

Sewta RTP Delivery Plan 2013/14The overall prioritisation of the Regional Transport Plan capital programme is set out in the RTP.The RTP considers a number of strategic options and concludes on a Preferred Option, which isshown to be best suited to deliver the RTP objectives and priorities. The Preferred Option assumesthat for the next five years overall effort is roughly split equally between highways (continuation ofexisting schemes, making better use of regional roads network) and public transport (raildevelopment, bus and integration), with a much increased effort (compared to previous years) onwalking & cycling and soft measures.Consequently the RTP Five Year Programme determines that over the five year period availablefunding should be prioritised as 44% highways, 44% bus and PT integration, 8% walking & cycling,2% rail development and 1% other.This prioritisation for the overall regional and local transport capital programme can no longer beachieved. The three main reasons are:1) Availability of funding for new schemes between 2010/11 and 2015/16 is now likely to runat less than 20% of the average of 2004/05-to 2009/102) Welsh Government policy decision to fund the legacy highway programme in full, leavingconsortia to find funding for any other legacy scheme 3 from their allocation for newschemes.3) The requirement in 2013/14 for Sewta to allocate approximately 31% of the overallRegional Transport Consortia Grant allocation to active travel with a further 26% on matchfunding for the delivery of the Access for All programme.On this basis Sewta has concluded that it should prioritise its available funding in 2013/14 to reflectthe following proportions:- 31% for Active Travel / Walking & Cycling schemes,- 26% for Rail Access for All,- 32% for Sewta Metro Plus schemes (including rail development, bus and integration),- 8% for highways make-better-use schemes, and- 3% for other activities (programme management, monitoring).The following sections set out the prioritisation within the modal subsections.2.5 Prioritisation – Walking & CyclingAs set out in the RTP, Sewta previously developed and prioritised a walking & cycling capitalprogramme, which was delivered through Transport Grant bids. However a proportion of thisremained outstanding 4 . From 2013/14 onwards the Welsh Government will also no longer providecapital funding to Cardiff City Council for its Sustainable Travel Cities Programme, which meansthat further implementation of the Cardiff Cycle Network will increasingly rely on funding fromSewta. The Sewta Walking & Cycling Group, consisting of representatives of member councils,Sustrans and the Welsh Government, has reviewed the proposals (as well as any additionalsuggestions) in terms of deliverability (though programme peer reviews), funding needs/co-fundingopportunity 5 , their relationship to the regional cycle network, national and local cycling strategies(where existing) and quality of proposal (through planning peer reviews). A number of schemeshave been deleted from the programme, while some others have been added where they couldshow strong benefits according to prioritisation criteria.For further information on the benefit of individual schemes or elements within schemes see theAnnex 3a form.3 E.g. walking & cycling, public transport4 This was partly caused by the closure of the Transport Grant programme for new proposals in its last years,which hit walking & cycling particularly hard as most walking & cycling schemes are delivered within 1-2years. By 2008/9 spending on walking & cycling had fallen to zero.5 For example, EUSF, Sustrans / lottery funding- 6 -

Sewta RTP Delivery Plan 2013/142.6 Prioritisation – Rail developmentSouth East Wales councils have a long record of collaboration in developing rail proposals, goingback to the Mid & South Glamorgan Rail Joint Committee in 1974. They have also a strong recordin achieving extensions and improvements to the network by working jointly with key stakeholders,including Network Rail, Arriva Trains Wales and the Welsh Government.As set out in the RTP, rail capital investment for all of Wales is led by the Welsh Government andfunded by its rail budget. Sewta’s role is to develop a regional strategy that sets out theimprovements necessary to support the social and environmental objectives of national and localgovernment for the rail system, and then to facilitate and lead where necessary the developmentand delivery of the proposals through Welsh Government and industry processes 6 . However, inaccordance with Welsh Government instructions, the capital programme also contains funding fordelivery of Access for All schemes at three stations.In 2006/7 Sewta developed its first rail strategy and prioritised investment programme which Sewtahas used when taking forward rail schemes with the Welsh Government and Network Rail. Morerecently, in 2010/11 Sewta reviewed its rail strategy, and Sewta’s priorities for the regional railsystem until 2030 with a review undertaken in 2012/13 reflecting the Valley Lines and GreatWestern Main Line Electrification decisions. The rail strategy set outs Sewta’s priorities for theshort-term (5 years), medium term (to 2020) and long-term to 2030. The period the study covers ismindful of the long lead-in-time for rail schemes to be implemented. Within the short to mediumterms, further prioritisation will have to take place and will need to reflect the range of externalfactors (such as development of the Sewta Metro Plus concept, re-franchising of Greater Westernand Wales and Borders franchise). Sewta’s proposals for rail development spend, including thaton station improvements, will therefore be discussed and agreed by the Sewta Rail Group, whichincludes operators, Network Rail and the Welsh Government.2.7 Prioritisation – Bus priorityAs set out in the RTP, the Sewta Bus Priority Study identified ways of improving end-to-endjourney times and journey experience on core bus corridors, to benefit the greatest number ofpassengers, and to provide value for money, and prioritised the corridors / areas.Since 2009 the Sewta Bus Working Group, consisting of representatives of member councils,passenger representatives, operators and the Welsh Government, has looked at the corridors /areas in broad order of priority and led the development of specific proposals within them. Toensure a steady and deliverable programme typically a number of corridors are looked at inparallel, and some reprioritisation is undertaken. Individual proposals within corridors are prioritisedby impact and deliverability and examined at planning and programme peer review meetings.For further information on the benefit of individual schemes see annex 3a form.2.8 Prioritisation – Public transport integrationThere are two main types of capital schemes within this section – interchanges / bus stations andpark & ride proposals.Concerning interchanges, as set out in the RTP, priority is given to public transport interchanges atthe 14 key settlements, and within these to those most important (in terms of usage), most in need(in terms of facilities) and most deliverable. Other interchange proposals may be prioritised wherethere is a clear opportunity that may otherwise be lost.6 Sewta may also facilitate and lead where necessary the development of funding packages, especially whenconcerning European Union Structural Funds.- 7 -

Sewta RTP Delivery Plan 2013/14Concerning park & ride schemes, as other rail schemes, these are subject to considerable lead-intimes and in general require the commitment of rail industry partners. Proposals are reviewed interms of deliverability (programme peer reviews), funding needs/co-funding opportunity 7 , theirrelationship to the regional rail strategy 8 , National Transport Plan and quality of proposal (planningpeer reviews).For further information on the benefit of individual schemes or elements within schemes see theannex 3a form.2.9 Prioritisation – Highways make-better-use (MBU)The RTP defined a regional road network, on which keeping traffic moving should be prioritised.The RTP further identifies a number of key problem areas and suggests the development of a highvalue/low cost make-better-use programme to reduce congestion, keep traffic moving, reduce thenegative impact of traffic on people and the environment and support public transport proposals. Astudy was undertaken in 2010/11 which set out an initial prioritised order for MBU improvements,this was further reviewed in 2012/13 through a peer review process in which key prioritisedschemes were reviewed further leading to a re-prioritised list of schemes to be developed anddelivered dependent on funding availability. To ensure a steady and deliverable programmetypically a number of areas are looked at in parallel, with further reprioritisation undertakendependent on examination of individual proposals at peer review meetings. The current level offunding available means that only one scheme can be delivered in 2013/14. Spending is thereforefocussed on the A472 / A4043 Pontypool scheme which is a key junction linking two routes ofregional significance.2.10 Prioritisation – Smaller schemes programmesDuring the development of the RTP Sewta identified the need / opportunity for funding for smallerschemes, which are too minor to be developed in the same way as major schemes in the FiveYear Programme, but which could provide quick wins by providing fast progress towards some ofthe priorities and policies of the RTP.Each smaller scheme programme was developed in the relevant Sewta technical working group bycouncil officers together with partners (Sustrans, passenger representatives, operators, CTA,Traveline, Welsh Government) and reviewed in terms of benefit and deliverability by the SewtaCentral Support Unit and the Programme Management Group.For further information see the annex 3a form.3. Road Safety capital programme3. 1 OverviewThe proposed road safety infrastructure schemes were initially developed by Sewta localauthorities and then reviewed and prioritised by the Sewta Road Safety Group. A prioritisation toolwas developed, which took account of accidents at the site, speeds, facilities nearby (e.g. schools),and expected reduction in accidents through the schemes and costs.Table 3.1 sets out the proposed 2013/14 Road Safety capital programme:7 For example EUSF8 Schemes are often developed as part of the planning of rail improvements or to complement proposals inthe Sewta rail strategy.- 8 -

Regional Travel PlanningThe Welsh Government funds Sewta to employ two Regional Travel Plan Coordinators (RTPCs) tohelp in delivering the smarter choices agenda across the region. Funding for the RTPC’s will beprovided in 2013/14 through the revenue funding allocation as part of the RTCG. The SewtaRTPCs will continue to work to deliver a travel planning work programme across all ten memberauthorities in line with the smarter choices policies and actions contained in the RTP.- 10 -

Sewta RTP Delivery Plan 2013/14Further information on Sewta travel planning priorities and the RTPCs 2013/14 work programmecan be found in the annex 3b form and the Sewta Business Plan. The RTPCs also manage theTravel Plan Grant programme, for which information can be found in the annex 3a form.6. Sewta corporate budgetThe Sewta corporate budget provides funding for the Sewta Central Support Unit, which isresponsible for supporting and coordinating the work of Sewta and its working groups. As well asstaffing costs, including travel planning staff and resources, this funding also coversaccommodation, IT and communications. The budget also funds other associated central functionssuch as the preparation and updating of sub-strategies, project scoping / business case studies,capital funding submissions, progress reports and similar documents, financial administration &progress monitoring of the capital and revenue budgets, accounts auditing, monitoring of RTPstrategic regional indicators and scheme outputs and outcomes, and publicity advice.Funding for the corporate budget comes from a number of sources: Funding for consortia coreadministration and related revenue items comes from the consortia core grant and, whennecessary, the use of reserves. Funding for programme management of the Regional TransportConsortia Grant (RTCG) and related items (e.g. funding submissions, scheme monitoring) comesfrom the programme management submissions in the programme. Funding for travel planningactivities comes from the travel planning grant, and the consortia core grant / reserves foradditional travel planning resources, and from the programme management budget foradministration of the travel planning grant programme.For 2013/14, the regional transport consortia will be undertaking programme managementactivities for RTCG previously undertaken by the Welsh Government. These activities, togetherwith an increase in the quantum of RTCG funded activity, are reflected in the strengthening ofprogramme management and monitoring resources.There will also be a need to strengthen the Sewta corporate budget to reflect new responsibilitiesfor the programme management, monitoring and administration of Bus Funding, and thepreparation of new Bus and Community Transport Network Strategies. Mechanisms to fund thisactivity are under consideration.For further information on the corporate budget please see section 5 of the 2013/14 SewtaBusiness Plan.7. Regional spatial visionGiven the low and reduced funding available, it is even more important to concentrate on strategicpriorities. These can be summarised as aspiring towards a ‘networked city-region’ (RTP, WalesSpatial Plan), the ‘Cardiff City Region approach’ (A Metro for Wales’ Capital City Region) and theSewta Metro Plus Concept.Figure 7.1 shows the regional distribution of the 2013/14 RTP capital schemes, figure 7.2 theregional distribution of the 2013/14 Road Safety schemes:- 11 -

The 2km route will comprise of a 3m tarmac surface suitable for all users.The scheme has the following benefits:• Increased accessibility particularly between Pontyclun, Talbot Green, Llantrisant and Tonyrefail and associated interchange facilities e.g. Pontyclun Train Station and TalbotGreen Bus Station.• Improved access to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, retail and leisure facilities in Talbot Green from the residential areas of Llantrisant, Pontyclun, Thomastown and TalbotGreen.• Improved access to the existing Celtic Trail in Tonyrefail, which is a large residential area and provides local services, education and employment. The Celtic Trail also links to• Reduced dependency on the private car for local journeys between Talbot Green and its surrounding communities such as Llantrisant, Tonyrefail and Pontyclun. Section 8-10is proposed adjacent the A4119, a busy commuter route to the M4, which has a high accident record (In the last 5 year’s, 27 KSI’s, 2 of which involved a pedestrian). This routeis also within a walking and cycling distance of 1km of residential areas in Talbot Green, Llantrisant and Tonyrefail.• Improved accessibility to services such as Royal Glamorgan Hospital, local post office and doctor’s surgery in Talbot Green and to areas of employment such as the nearbyLlantrisant Business Park, Coecae Industrial Estate and local employment in Talbot Green, Llantrisant and Tonyrefail Town Centres, encouraging inward investment into area.• The final link of Llantrisant Community Route (sections 4-16) will link the Church Village Bypass Community Route and Trefforest to Tonteg route which will link manyresidential areas along the corridor to services, education and employment in particular Trefforest Industrial estate.Sustrans carried out an assessment on the Llantrisant Community Route and the report details a feasible route that links from the existing Church Village Community Route toPontyclun Train Station and to NCN 4 in Tonyrefail. It also outlines the benefits of the route. (Report available on request).The proposed scheme also went through a Stage 1 Sewta WelTag Appraisal that showed the scheme to be primarily a beneficial scheme.An automatic cycle counter will be installed on the route and data downloaded on a quarterly basis.£30k £925k + June 2013 November 2013£1260kReserveScheme DescriptionIn 2013/14 the development of the Cardiff Strategic Network will include:• Delivery of Route 6 between the City Centre and the residential areas of Canton and Pontcanna along the Cowbridge Rd East Corridor.• Delivery of a section (Column Rd / Corbett Rd Junction) of Route 9 between the city centre and Rhiwbina which is the first of the strategic routes to North Cardiff . This initial phasewill assist in improving cycling access between the University/ city centre and Cathays, as well as the Halls of Residents located along the A470 North Road. Further funding(£481k) is also being sought as part of the reserve list proposals for further works to complete Route 9.The Cardiff Strategic Cycle Network has been developed to provide a more strategic approach and ensure future investments are coherent and of a consistently high standard.Key benefits – Outputs (quantified) and outcomes Route 9:• Improves access for 2 of the 5 key target markets of the Strategic Cycle Network –young professionals and university students.• Encourage first year students to cycle before they have developed unsustainable travel habits.• Improves access to the city centre, which is the focus of economic activity and employment in Cardiff.• Improves access to Cathays Railway Station, which provides access to the Aberdare, Merthyr Tydfil and Treherbert lines, as well as direct access to Cardiff Central Railway Stationand Cardiff Queen Street, where passengers can interchange onto other Valley Lines and national services.• Improves access to the Taff Trail (NCN 8), which links Cardiff with the valleys and from there to NCN 4 and NCN 47• Improves linkages to Cathays Park which hosts Welsh Government, Public Health, Cardiff Council and Cardiff University – keenly demonstrates role of cycling in transportinfrastructure.• Improves access to green spaces (Bute Park, Pontcanna fields etc) – important for play, leisure, active travel, physical and mental health.Route 6:• Improved cycling linkages between the city centre and the residential areas of Canton, Pontcanna, as well as the deprived communities of Ely and Caerau. Thus, providingattractive and convenient alternatives to the car, as well as improving access to jobs and services.• The route will provide cycle access to a large section of western Cardiff and will form the basis for future extensions to Ely, Caerau and the Vale of Glamorgan.• A major part of the scheme will involve introducing traffic calming measures and cycle lanes along sections of Cowbridge Road, thereby providing dedicated space for cyclists andencouraging motor vehicles to divert along Lansdowne Road.• The scheme would improve pedestrian access along the popular district shopping centre on Cowbridge Road East.• The city centre section of the route would also link to the existing National Cycle Network Route 8 (the Taff Trail), providing access to the north of Cardiff and Cardiff Bay and to theEly Trail.• The scheme would provide improved linkages to parks and play spaces, such as Bute Park and Victoria Park.Summary Evidence to support interventionThe scheme has been identified as part of the Cardiff Strategic Cycle Network Plan which defines a core cycle network for Cardiff, as well as identifying the schemes required to deliverthe network.The route was identified, as it has shown to serve areas of Cardiff with a high propensity to cycle. In particular, target markets for the cycle network have been identified for Route 6 andRoute 9 serving areas with a high density of households from the target groups of ‘young urban professionals’, ‘university students’ (R9) and ‘older/mature parents’ (R6), whichillustrates that the new route serves communities with a high propensity to cycle.- 2 -

It will increase connectivity between villages and key locationsthroughout the Rural Vale, enabling improved access to local services and the promotion of sustainable travel and healthy living in line with many Council objectives.The proposal supports the Council’s Creative Rural Communities bid to the Welsh Government under the Axis 3 Rural Development Plan for Wales 2007-2013 Programme for £50k perannum for 3 years from RTP funding. The funding has released £425k of additional resources towards the provision of cycling within the rural Vale.The NCN Route 88 will provide a safe, convenient and attractive cycling route through the Vale of Glamorgan rural area suitable for commuter, utility and leisure uses. The routeprovides for:• Increased accessibility• Reduced dependency on the private car for local journeys and those associated with commuter trips.• Opportunities for sustainable travel, and• Links between the rural villages.Sustrans feasibility report provides a robust basis on which to develop the NCN through the Vale and covers the initial steps of the stage gate process. A cycle route along Rhoose wasimplemented in 2011/12 and a further feasibility study was carried out in 2011-12 and detailed designs will be completed by March 31 st 2013 with delivery of schemes in 2013-14.Monitoring will be via the Council’s project management Guidance and Sewta’s monitoring system.Torfaen Works RTP Active Travel £780k £780k 0 £760k 0 £760k June 2013 March 2014The Afon Llwyd Greenway scheme will deliver a new cycle route of approximately 3km length on the eastern side of Cwmbran with the majority running alongside the bank of the AfonLlwyd river. This will provide a rural route environment within a densely populated part of Cwmbran. The current unpaved informal route becomes difficult to traverse in wet weather.The scheme will provide a hard surface shared use cycleway predominantly through woods and green spaces close to residential housing, businesses and town centre and includes 3new crossing points on local roads. The southern end of the route will terminate at the leisure and recreational facilities in the Boating Lake Park. The northern end will connect atChapel Lane/Avondale road to existing infrastructure leading to the southern edge of Pontypool, NCN492 and also the Mon & Brecon Canal cycle route.A new “all seasons” walking and cycle route for walkers, cyclists, wheelchair users and mobility scooters etc to use for commuting and for recreational use. The route will help connectpeople with the town centre, bus and rail stations, industrial estates and other workplaces, schools, parks, local shops and other facilities. This will be a safer, healthier, greener andmore sustainable way to travel.Expected outcomes:Outcome 1 - modal change to greater use of walking & cycling modes for local journeys to work and elsewhere.Outcome 2 - expectations of a substantial increase in absolute numbers using the route in all seasons.Outcome 3 - improved access/mobility for disabled/mobility impaired peopleOutcome 4 - a contribution to children’s wellbeing through access to inexpensive leisure, sport and play provision. Outcomes 3 and 4 form part of the Tackling Poverty Action Plan2012-2016.Outcome 5 – providing a realistic alternative off-road route to the existing heavily trafficked on-road route for vulnerable road users.North Torfaen Transportation StudyThe North Torfaen Transportation Study was externally delivered using Heads of the Valleys Grant monies in 2008-10.It was briefed to recommend sustainable , ecologically sound transport improvements between the A 472 junction with the A 4043 south of Pontypool, along the northern half of lengthof Torfaen and the fringes of Varteg in Garndiffaith, with the emphasis on Walking and Cycling, Public Transport priority and cost-effective capacity improvements to the existingnetwork.The purpose was to support/pre-empt the development of The British, Talywaun from a brownfield, former Industrial landscape into a 200+ homes by 2012 development with primaryschool, 2 hectare light industrial, and 3½ acre retail development with associated amenity and transport links following significant remedial conservation and mineral extraction.Recommendations would form the ‘platform’ basis upon which future Improvements could be justified, sought and delivered, either singly or in packages.Some sections of the route have been previously monitored as part of other projects, however monitoring of the whole route will only commence once the route is completed.Caerphilly Works RTP Active Travel £452k £452k 0 £47k 0 £47k April 2011 June 2013The completed scheme will provide a continuous 4.5km north-south link from the Heads of the Valleys (HotV) National Cycle Network (NCN) Route 46 in the north to link to the cycleroutes previously implemented as part of the Rhymney Comprehensive Safe Routes to School scheme in the south.

These improvements may also encourage additional buses to operate via Parc Nantgarw and Trefforest Industrial Estate. These buses on theBeddau to Cardiff service currently use the A470 to Upper Boat and don’t serve the Trefforest Industrial Estate. The proposals include the introduction of a third lane and signals onMain Avenue and the localised widening of Tonteg Road. Modelling indicates that this will resolve the northbound bus problems and greatly assist the southbound bus movements. Theproposals will also create gaps for Tonteg Road traffic and help circulatory traffic.

Buses approaching the gyratory from A4058/Broadway will be able to turn right across Sardis Road Bridge to allowquicker and easier access to Catherine Street. Creation of a ‘bus only’ right turn facility will allow easier and quicker access to Catherine Street, enabling buses to avoid havingto circulate around the gyratory system, with a consequential reduction in journey time.• All traffic leaving Catherine Street (such as buses travelling between the bus station and the Rhondda) will be able to turn right and access Mill Street. Consequently, all rightturning traffic from Catherine Street to Mill Street /Rhondda Road will also avoid having to circulate around the gyratory system, being able to turn right and access Mill Street.• Extending the length of the two lane Rhondda Road northbound carriageway by approximately 100m.• Reversing the flow on Mill Street with a bus lane provided on the nearside lane. This will enable northbound traffic exiting Sardis Gyratory to stack on two exit arms, if required.A new signal controlled junction will be created adjacent to the school enabling northbound traffic to egress under signal control.• Additional lengths of bus lane have been provided in the inbound and outbound routes to provide additional benefit, particularly at peak times.Bus Stop InfrastructureThis includes the provision of new bus boarders (raised kerbs), new shelters, new bus stop signs including timetable information, resurfacing the area immediately adjacent to the busstop and where necessary new informal crossing points. This will build upon similar facilities already installed in Taff’s Well, Nantgarw and Trefforest Industrial Estate and extend it fromthere to Pontypridd.Caedelyn Road to Tyn-y-Parc RoadThe scheme will provide an inbound nearside 3m wide bus lane along the A470 between Caedelyn Road and Tyn-y-Parc Road, which is an arterial route into the city centre, which willbenefit both local bus services and regional bus services.Parkfield PlaceCompletion of the nearside, inbound bus lane between the Gabalfa interchange and Parkfield Place.Upper Boat JunctionTraffic flows on the A470 are high at all times and whilst the Pontypridd to Cardiff bus service, number 132, follows the parallel route through Rhydyfelin, Hawthorn, Nantgarw, Taff’sWell, Tongwynlais and Whitchurch, it experiences congestion problems of its own at numerous locations along the way. In particular, Stagecoach has confirmed that improving the flowbetween Main Avenue and Cardiff Road would have a major benefit for buses. It was also a necessary improvement if the two buses as hour in each direction (four in the peak) thatoperate services to Church Village were to be encouraged to operate via the Trefforest Trading Estate instead of via A470 between Upper Boat and Nantgarw. Other services, such as18, 102, 104, 120, 202 and 400E also encounter these problems as they pass through this congested location.The Upper Boat junction currently functions at or very near capacity, while business, residential and educational development continues within the area. At the Upper Boat roundabout,buses experience delays of up to twenty minutes.The Upper Boat junction also serves as a link to the Church Village area and Bypass, the Trefforest and Gelihirion Industrial Estates, a major superstore, retail parks and variousresidential areas, all of which are expanding rapidly, putting pressure on all arms of the junction at all times of the day.The Upper Boat junction improvement will build upon the Nantgarw junction enhancement and encourage improved public transport links to the college, employment, entertainment andretail facilities within Parc Nantgarw and the Trefforest Trading Estate, encouraging more people to use public transport, delivering more sustainable access to jobs and services.The delays experienced by buses at both the Nantgarw and Upper Boat roundabouts are cited by Edwards Coaches as the reason for their Cardiff buses not serving the TrefforestEstate. The improvements would encourage a change of direction by Edwards and increase the number of buses that benefit from the proposals by a further four per hour (eight perhour at peak times), though both the completed Nantgarw and planned Upper Boat improvements need to be delivered for the services to benefit in both directions.Sardis GyratoryPontypridd is the confluence of a number of strategic bus services, with the main bus station being a key hub in the regional transport network. The strategic location of Pontypridd hasplaced significant demands on the existing highway network, with limited opportunities to increase capacity due to a number of physical constraints. This results in significantcongestion, impinging on the ability to provide reliable and consistent journey times for bus services.Services 60A, 99, 100E, 101, 102, 105, 107, 108, 109, 120, 130, 132, 150, 202, 244, X4, X32 and T4 encounter these problems as they pass through this congested location. Service120 from Caerphilly to the Rhondda Fawr has consistently been failing to meet the targets set by the Traffic CommissionerCongestion on the through route to and from the Rhondda Valleys is prevalent, particularly at the Sardis Road Gyratory. Sardis Gyratory is a critical junction in the circulation of busesthrough Pontypridd, with 77 buses in total utilising the Catherine Street arm every hour; therefore opportunities to assist buses through the gyratory would have a significant effect on alarge number of services and passengers. TRANSYT analyses indicate a 30% decrease in bus journey times from Broadway to Catherine Street.Bus journey time savings have been assessed via a TRANSYT analysis for the Sardis Road Proposals. The time savings for all buses passing through the junction in the peak hour arean increase of 78 seconds in the am peak but a significantly greater saving of 584 seconds in the more congested evening peak. Based upon passenger numbers using the affectedservices there is an increase of 0.6 hours in the morning peak and a saving of 7.7 hours in the evening peak. The corresponding saving over a 12 hour day is 17.5 hours. In monetaryterms, it has been estimated that the time savings would amount to over £18k per annum. A benefit/cost ratio of 1.35 has been calculated for the proposals. This could be consideredto be a relatively low value. However, this has been based solely on journey time benefits to existing bus passenger and does not take into account:-• Journey time savings for car users• Growth in passenger numbers• Impact of improved reliability of buses• Economic benefits to the town centreTherefore, it is believed that the actual benefits achieved, when all users are considered, will lead to a substantially better BCR than that quoted.Bus stop improvementsTo enable less able and infirm passengers to board and leave buses more easily and to provide all passengers and possible future passengers with a more comfortable waitingenvironment, with up to date information on services using each individual stop. In relevant cases safe access to the stops will be provided by means of new crossing points in thevicinity. This will encourage more people to use buses.- 6 -

If there is no intervention the problem will greatly impact on bus services within the area, operators will certainlybe discouraged from running or expanding services and passengers experiencing delays will be discouraged from using the services, particularly at peak periods. Measures to improvereliability and attractiveness of public transport services will help to achieve the objectives of improving accessibility, reducing traffic congestion and encouraging modal shift to moresustainable transport modes.The primary purpose of the improvements is to achieve the following goals:-• Increased attractiveness of bus services.• Reduction in bus journey times• Providing greater consistency• Improvements to reliability• Reduced dependency on the private car• Manage vehicular movement to help reduce congestion• To make better use of the existing road systemSummary Evidence to support intervention A number of options aimed at improving the bus journey time and reliability through the Pontypridd gyratory system were assessed in the Pontypridd Bus Benefits Report August 2011.The main results are summarised in the scheme benefits section above. Extracts from the report are available on request.Proposals for Monitoring and EvaluationThe RTP commits Sewta to monitor the outputs and outcomes of all interventions (refer to paragraphs 8.18/19 and table 8.2 of the RTP). The RTP identifies that in relation to busschemes the attributes that will be monitored include use/patronage, satisfaction, modal shift, journey time/reliability, number of services run, infringement surveys and fit with WTSobjectives.Baseline monitoring surveys were undertaken in RCT between November and December 2011. In Cardiff, baseline bus journey times and journey time delay surveys were undertakenduring 2006 and 2007 between Coryton and Gabalfa interchange. The surveys recorded a delay of 7 minutes and 17 seconds southbound in the AM peak and a delay of 4 minutes and46 seconds northbound in the PM peak.Baseline bus patronage surveys were also undertaken north of Pantmawr during 2010. The surveys recorded 185 bus passengers travelling southbound in the AM peak (0800 -0900)and 1156 bus passengers during the 12 hour counts (0700 – 1900), whereas northbound in the PM peak (1630 – 1730) 128 bus passengers were recorded and 1080 passengers over12 hour count (0700 – 1900).Post scheme surveys will be undertaken at appropriate times following the completion of the wider Upper Boat, Pontypridd Town Centre and Cardiff A470 schemes.SMS2 1 st Priority Newport Bus Station Newport Works RTP Integrated £1618k £1618k 0 £680 0 £680k April 2012 August 2013TransportScheme DescriptionThe city centre development includes the redevelopment of Newport Bus Station. The current 26 stand bus station is to be demolished and replaced by a new 15 stand bus stationfacility including passenger waiting area and information office as part of the Friar Walk development. The first phase of work will entail the upgrading and expansion of the currentMarket Square bus facility to create an additional terminus facility (9 stands plus layover). This facility will be used as the main terminus facility during the construction of the new busstation and will provide additional capacity thereafter.Key benefits – Outputs (quantified) and outcomes • To make better use of the Market Square facility located within a 100m of the central bus station.• Reduce bus movements on congested old green roundabout• Improve waiting facilities for passengers and to facilitate improved bus to bus connections• Create a additional facilities to accommodate increased demand on bus services accessing the heart of the city centre (Stow Hill, Queensway and High Street)Summary Evidence to support interventionThe current bus station is deemed as unattractive to users and a barrier to increased patronage. A survey of Newport Bus customers in 2009 produced 337 responses the result ofwhich produced 1% very satisfied, 31% fairly satisfied, 35% fairly dissatisfied and 33% very dissatisfied with the bus station facility.Based on current patronage, operator estimates of footfall at the current bus station exceeds 5 million passenger journeys per annum, compared to approximately 2 million at NewportRailway Station (of which a small percentage arrive by bus). The main requirement is, therefore, deemed to be bus to bus movement rather than bus to rail.Proposals for Monitoring and Evaluation - Usage and patronage information from bus operators and footfall counts- Public satisfaction surveys- Increase bus services through analysis of bus departures (this may be affected by the Bus funding review)SMS3 2 nd Priority Brynmawr Bus Station Blaenau Gwent Works RTP IntegratedTransport£697k £697k 0 £400k +£365k0 £400k +£365kApril 2013 February 2014Scheme DescriptionKey benefits – Outputs (quantified) and outcomesReserveReserveBrynmawr Bus Station provides for local public transport trips as well as acting as a strategic hub, with services to Hereford and Abergavenny to the east and Merthyr and Cardiff to thewest and south.The bus station is used for shopping, leisure, recreation and commuter trips and enables access to key facilities and services as well as employment opportunities.The proposal will provide modern, high quality interchange facilities at Brynmawr.The new bus station will encourage new multi-modal journeys, with facilities for bus to bus interchange, cycle to bus interchange and foot to bus interchange. In addition, the busstation is located near to a free public car park making it conducive for car to bus interchange.A new bus facility will increase user numbers, encouraging and enabling more sustainable journeys to be undertaken, thus reducing the contribution of transport to CO2 levels andother harmful emissions. Interchange facilities such as a connecting cycle route, cycle parking facilities and pedestrian routes will encourage sustainable access to the bus station.

The A465 dualling in this area is a committed WG scheme due for completion in 2020. It is proposed that theconstruction of the two road schemes will be linked to increase economies of scale and efficient working practices. The Cynon Gateway scheme starts at a new roundabout junctionwith the existing A4059 Aberdare By Pass between the existing B4276 and Penywaun roundabouts on that road. The proposed road will then bridge the valley of the River Cynon andthe course of the Aberdare to Tower Colliery railway line. It will then cross the valley of the Nant Hir (a tributary of the River Cynon) on a further bridge before terminating at a newgrade separated junction with the A465 to the east of the existing Court Lodge junction (at the eastern approach to Hirwaun). Alternative junction types linking the A465 are beingconsidered. These are either a comprehensive junction including access to the A465 from the Class 3 road between Swansea Road Hirwaun and the Llwydcoed/Crematorium or ajunction with the A465 only and a further bridge over the Class 3 route. No intermediate junctions are to be provided. A preliminary alignment plan of the scheme, indicating thealignment which under current levels of knowledge provides the best solution, is available on request.Key benefits – Outputs (quantified) and outcomesIt is currently expected that it will be constructed to 7.3m single carriageway standard and will be approximately 1.8 km in length. The road will be constructed in one stage. It isanticipated that a walking and cycling route will be investigated and provided as part of the scheme in accordance with recent RCT practice and also likely to be required underproposed Active Travel Legislation.The aims of the scheme are to provide good communications between the upper part of the Cynon Valley and the A465(T) and the markets and suppliers beyond. Communicationswithin the Cynon Valley are currently seen as a major constraint to maximising economic growth and social well being. A very simplistic analysis was carried out some time ago usingthe COBA 11 program. This indicated a net present value of approximately £11 million. This indicates that there will be benefits to road users in terms of journey time savings andoperating costs as a result on constructing the scheme.The new road will provide an excellent link to assist the attraction of inward investment while also meeting the needs of existing industry. The Council has recently adopted its LocalDevelopment Plan in which it identifies a number of Strategic Sites. These are defined as being sites of 20 hectares or more, located in close proximity to the regional transportationnetwork and which have the potential to deliver significant benefits to the County Borough. The development proposed for the three sites proposed in the LDP for the upper CynonValley is as follows:Phurnacite Plant Site, Abercwmboi - 500 Dwellings, Employment (5.9 hectares) and informal Recreation Space.Land at Robertstown /Abernant - 500 - 600 Dwellings, Employment / Leisure (3.7 hectares).Land South of Hirwaun - 400 Dwellings, Employment (36 hectares).- 11 -

The whole area of Rhondda Cynon Taff is contained in the West Wales and theValley’s Convergence Zone. This means that the whole area is considered to be in need of substantial regeneration. However, within this area there are certain wards which havegreater levels of deprivation than others. Included in this are Penywaun, Rhigos and part of the Hirwaun wards. These are all wards which would benefit from the improved accessibilityafforded by the Aberdare Bypass extension. Based upon the latest index of multiple deprivation, Penywaun and parts of Hirwaun are amongst the 10% most deprived areas in Wales.The remainder of Hirwaun, Rhigos and most of the Aberdare West ward (which includes Llwydcoed), which would benefit from a reduction in through traffic, are in the top 50%.It is intended that this road would be constructed in conjunction with the dualling of the A465 in this area, which is currently a proposal of the National Assembly. This scheme iscurrently proposed to be completed by 2020. The dualling scheme for the A465 would involve the removal of a number of the existing junctions on the road. Of particular relevance inthis respect is that at Trewaun, where the A4059 meets the A465. This would involve vehicles travelling between the upper Cynon Valley and the A465 east, in an additional 2.75 kmround trip. The provision of the Cynon Gateway scheme (which would involve the retention and improvement of the existing Court Lodge junction east of Hirwaun) would resolve thisproblem. A further problem with the proposed removal of the A465 junction at Trewaun is that it would make the provision of a southern access to the possible major development siteto the west of Hirwaun and Penywaun (225 hectares) less attractive for the same reasons as set out above. The proposed Cynon Gateway, in conjunction with the existing AberdareBy Pass would provide an acceptable and direct southern access to the trunk road from this site.In recent years there has been considerable public opposition to the use of the B4276 through Llwydcoed by through traffic, especially heavy goods vehicles travelling to and from theBryn Pica landfill site located between the village and the A465 junction. It is believed that the best long term solution would be to provide a new road to take the traffic away fromLlwydcoed. There is also a need to provide relief to residents along the A4059 in Penywaun and Trewaun between the end of the Aberdare By Pass and the A465. Provision of trafficrelief to all the communities mentioned above would improve the environment and also provide tangible benefits in terms of road safety. The provision of the Cynon Gateway, inconjunction with the dualling of the A465, would provide an acceptable alternative route. In addition, both of these roads are below current design standards.On the B4276 through Llwydcoed, traffic is expected to reduce between 40% and 50%. The corresponding figure for the A4059 through Penywaun and Trewaun is almost 80%. Theexisting A4059 passes through the community of Trewaun and along the western edge of Penywaun. Approximately 70 properties have frontage access on this route, though asignificant number of these are set back from the road somewhat. In addition there are around a further 80 properties which are in fairly close proximity to the existing A4059 with aclear unobstructed view of the route. These would all be relieved by a reduction on traffic along that route. The B4276 passes through the community of Llwydcoed. The road isfronted by mainly residential properties for almost the full length of the village, which is to a large extent a ribbon development with a number of small housing areas extending backfrom the route. The provision of the A4059 Aberdare By Pass Extension would remove traffic (approximately 3400 vehicles) from passing adjacent to approximately 150 propertiesfronting on to the B4276 through the village, which would benefit in terms of reduction of noise and pollution. On the new road there will be no properties fronting directly onto the roadwith traffic being some distance away from the nearest building. In certain areas a limited number of people may be disadvantaged and measures will be taken to minimise this.However, the scheme will provide substantially more positive results than adverse consequences and will have a large beneficial effect in this respect.The recent WelTAG report produced in relation to this scheme identified 7 transport planning objectives for the upper Cynon Valley. This scheme scored positively against 5 of these:-TPO1 To improve the attraction of Hirwaun and Aberdare corridor for inward investment, TPO2 To improve access to employment opportunities for the population of the Hirwaun andAberdare corridor, TPO3 To improve accessibility to key services in Aberdare to support its function as a principal town, TPO4 To reduce the adverse impacts of the traffic on the localenvironment including safety and TPO5 To ensure compatibility with, and maximise the benefits of, future infrastructure projects. It had a neutral score on the remaining two (both ofwhich were desirable rather than the essential and important categories of the above 5). These were: TPO6 To encourage Hirwaun and Aberdare to grow in a sustainable way andTPO7 To improve the health of the population of the Hirwaun and Aberdare corridor by encouraging healthy lifestyles through active travel.In summary the aims of this scheme are to open up access to the upper Cynon Valley, to retain and attract employment by providing good communication with the trunk road networkand to bring environmental relief and improve safety in the residential areas of Llwydcoed, Penywaun and Trewaun.The WelTAG study produced for the upper Cynon Valley and produced as a pilot for the proposed new version of WelTAG reported favourably on this scheme when comparing itagainst the Transportation Planning Benefits identified in the study workshops.Also a significant amount of work was undertaken when seeking to justify the scheme for TG support for scheme development several years ago. The text of this is available onrequest.No monitoring has yet been undertaken. However, the RTP commits Sewta to monitor the outputs and outcomes of all interventions (refer to paragraphs 8.18/19 and table 8.2 of theRTP). The RTP does not refer to new highway schemes but for MBU projects identifies that the attributes that will be monitored include use/patronage, journey time/reliability and fitwith WTS objectives. Several traffic surveys were conducted in late 2012. This will form a suitable baseline position against which the monitoring will be assessed. Any data collectedbetween now and the time of scheme opening (2020) will also be used as baseline information. Further consideration will be given to monitoring requirements during this period andshould any specific further information be required (for example ecological work) this will be undertaken. Appropriate surveys will be undertaken post completion to provide a validcomparison of the effects of the scheme compared to its expected benefits/impacts.Caerphilly Pre-delivery RTP Highways >£60k >£60k >0 £50k 0 £50k April 2013 March 2014ReserveMaking Better Use highways scheme to improve the functioning of the A472 through Maesycwmmer, which is key link on the strategic highway network. The A472 throughMaesycwmmer is a single-carriageway link that acts as a constraint on the network and does not provide sufficient capacity for the level of traffic using the strategic route. This results inproblems of traffic congestion and extensive queuing at peak periods and limits the efficiency of the strategic highway network.

The scheme will provide dedicated pedestrian stages improving walking and cycling access into the City Centrefrom the Pillgwenlly area of the City thus overcoming a barrier to active travel.The upgraded junction will improve access to all services, facilities and employment in the City Centre including the Royal Gwent Hospital.It will increase trips undertaken by walking and cycling to the City Centre and the Royal Gwent Hospital minimising demand on the transport system.Will encourage healthy lifestyles.It will also make better use of the existing transport system.Upgrade of the junction to all movement is required to provide access into the City Centre and to the Royal Gwent Hospital as Kingsway has been closed to through traffic to assist inthe redevelopment of the City Centre.The junction improvement was included in several studies in 2004 -2006 for the proposed City Centre redevelopment. It was also included in the City Wide Transport Strategy 2004 andthe City Wide Transport Strategy refresh 2012.Detailed base line data has been obtained from surveys. Post implement surveys will be used to monitor the performance of the junction.Monmouthshire Pre-delivery RTP Highways £975k £525k £450k £75k 0 £75k April 2013 March 2014ReserveThe scheme will deliver an additional traffic lane on the A40 southbound approach to the A40/A466 Wyebridge signal controlled junction together with more direct and open approachesto the pedestrian subway.The scheme will improve capacity and reduce traffic delays on all approach arms. Currently the junction routinely operates with peak period DoS in excess of 90% and at times inexcess of 100% - scheme will typically improve the Practical Reserve Capacity by 11% and reduce DoS below 90% at all times.The improved more open subway approaches will improve sense of personal security, encourage more active travel between Wyesham and town centre and reduce occurrences ofpedestrians crossing junction at grade without benefit of pedestrian control.Refer to Mon CC ‘Traffic Capacity and Pedestrian Facility Improvements’ Preliminary Report Rev A October 2012 and Capita ‘A40/Wye Bridge Junction, Monmouth’ Report.Peak period traffic and queue length surveys undertaken September 2012.

The currentproposals seek to extend the improvements to the remainder of the gyratory so that it can adequately accommodate the high volumes of traffic that are experienced. These currentlymanifest themselves as delays and significant traffic queues that on the A470 slip roads often extend back to the main carriageway. The proposals at this junction include the furthersignalisation of some of the entries, creation of additional lanes or dedicated lanes by widening approach widths, improved lane designation and use by means of amended roadmarkings and signage on the approaches to the junction and in the circulatory carriageway, and the provision of a new pedestrian cycle crossing. The final list of works has not yetbeen concluded, but is likely to include improvements to four of the seven entries to the gyratory as well as to the circulatory carriageway and a new crossing facility.

However, it isanticipated that the proposals will reduce congestion, improve journey reliability and safety by removing stationary and slow moving traffic from the high speed A470. Furthermore, thebenefits to reduction in congestion and improvements to journey time reliability will have consequential benefits for access to employment opportunities, particularly in the adjacentTrefforest Industrial Estate or the major employment centre of Cardiff. This junction is on a major commuting route between the significant residential area of Beddau/LlantwitFardre/Church Village/Tonteg and the main employment locations. RTP objectives that would be supported would be:-• Reduce the number and severity of road traffic casualties.• To improve access for all to employment opportunities, services, healthcare, education, tourism and leisure facilities.• To improve the quality, efficiency and reliability of the transport system.• To reduce traffic growth, traffic congestion and to make better use of the existing road network.The specific policies that would be supported by the proposals are:-• WCP1 – Sewta supports improved infrastructure for walking and cycling (pedestrian /cycle crossing)• HIP3 – Sewta supports selective improvements to the regional highway system through make-better-use proposals (improvements to the A473).• HIP4 – Sewta supports selective improvements to the national highway system where they are to the overall benefit to RTP objectives (improvements to the A470).• RSP1 – Sewta supports measures to reduce the number and severity of road traffic collisions and to improve road safety levels.Capita Symonds report Improvements to Upper Boat Interchange, Stage 2 – Preliminary Study of Potential Improvements.

The length of highway is frequently used by students travelling to and from the college and to and from the near-bytown centre. Observations show that students frequently cross immediately after leaving the college grounds without regard for traffic conditions on this busy stretch of highway.Although pedestrian facilities have been provided near to the college they are off the desire line. The proposal includes the provision of a wider footway that can incorporate a length ofpedestrian guardrail that will guide pedestrians to safe crossing points. An additional crossing point will be introduced on the Northern side of the junction. The scheme will include theprovision of two speed on green red light cameras and an all-red pedestrian phase that will facilitate this second pedestrian crossing point.It is anticipated that the College will be developing a site on the opposite side of the road which will increase crossing movements in maThe estimate for the scheme’s total cost is £180.000 which will be sufficient to design and complete the scheme during 2013/14.The scheme is at sketch design stage and detailed design will commence in April 2013 if the grant is awarded.A number of the accidents at this junction were caused by persons going through red lights. There is a tendancy for students not to use recognised crossing points. It is anticipated thisscheme will reduce casualties at a very busy location, reduce the amount of red light running and reduce speed through the junction.See prioritisation tool.The number of accidents/casualties will be monitored following scheme completion and at periodic intervals afterwards.Cardiff Works Road Safety £70k £70k 0 £70k 0 £70k April 2013 August 2013This scheme will improve road safety for all highway users at the Greyfriars Road / Park Place junction.
