Local Transport Plan 3 - Worcestershire County Council

The delivery plan will be published in the form of County and Area Transport Strategies, with the first setpublished in 2011. These strategies will take the form of a rolling 36 month delivery plan programme. Thisapproach is proposed as it will coincide with future funding allocations, which will generally be providedevery five years (so two delivery plans in each five year funding period).The Transport Scheme Appraisal Framework uses a method called multi-criteria analysis. That is to say, itis capable of considering each scheme's performance against a range of agreed objectives (which includethe LTP3 objectives, plus a Key Indicators objective, which is explained below). The objectives and theirdescriptions are provided in Table 1.10.Table 1.10 - The Objectives for PrioritisationPrioritising this indicator would promote schemes that improvejourney time reliability and predictability for all modes, supportredevelopment and regeneration of degraded places (such as publicrealm schemes) and enhance transport infrastructure and servicesto be more resilient to incidents (such as flooding, accidents androad closures).Prioritising this indicator would support schemes which reduceemissions from transport, such as alternative fuels, public realmenhancements, walking, cycling and passenger transport (rail, bus,taxis and community transport) schemes.Prioritising this indicator will promote schemes that have thegreatest chance of being delivered. So, schemes which have goodpublic, political and stakeholder support and are straightforward todeliver will be prioritised over more risky schemes.Prioritising this indicator will promote schemes which can befunded from sources other than Worcestershire County Council,deliver best value for public money, and reduce Worcestershire'smaintenance liability (for example, a scheme to implement kerbswill reduce the likelihood of pot holes forming at the edges of ahighway surface, so reducing ongoing maintenance costs).Prioritising this indicator would support schemes that make criticalservices and facilities (such as hospitals, schools and workplaces)more accessible and affordable for all, regardless of where peoplelive or how well off they are.Prioritising this indicator would promote schemes which reduce theimpacts of transport noise, protect and enhance the historic andnatural environments and heritage assets, improve the public realm
