Increased congestion, particularly in urban areas and along key inter-urban corridors3.6.4 The aim of the LTP3 is to move away from this downward spiral and to develop a network of fast,reliable and integrated services for Worcestershire. In order to deliver this, it will be necessary forpassenger transport services to operate reliably, punctually and with consistently quick journey timesto deliver a network which offers a realistic alternative to the car. There is clear evidence (inWorcestershire and elsewhere) that this approach delivers real benefits.Worcestershire County Council will work with passenger transport operators and infrastructurepartners to obtain the funding required provide the infrastructure and other measures requiredto deliver a network of reliable passenger transport services with consistently quick andcompetitive journey times, particularly for journeys:In congested urban areasAlong key inter-urban corridorsFor rail, this will involve working with rail industry partners and key funding bodies such as theDepartment for Transport to identify and resolve capacity pinch points, line speed problemsand rolling stock capacity restrictions.For bus, this will involve working with partners to develop meaningful quality partnershipswhich:Establish evidence based reliability and journey time targetsDeliver infrastructure, operational management measures and Traffic Regulation Orderswhich will deliver against these targetsEnsure that measures are properly enforcedMonitor performance (including enforcement)For community transport, this will involve working with operators to identify existing reliabilityconstraints on the network, and seeking to mitigate these issues to enhance the efficiency ofthese operations (such as drop off points at key trip attractors such as hospitals)For taxis, this will involve working with operators to ensure that provision and use ofinfrastructure is optimised to ensure that this mode integrates properly with other modes oftransport.3.7.1 The passenger transport network must be integrated if it is to deliver higher levels of accessibilityand transport choice to the community. It is essential that passenger transport must be integratedwith new land use developments from the outset of the planning process and that information &marketing, infrastructure, fares & ticketing and operations are also well integrated.
3.7.2 New developments, particularly of larger scale, must have high levels of passenger transportaccessibility and should be designed to encourage use of all sustainable transport modes. Theaccessibility needs of these transport modes must be considered at the outset of the developmentplanning and design process. In practice, this will require measures such as:Short (
