Park and Ride Great Britain 2007
A Survey and Report
The Government’s Ten-Year Plan for transport promised “high-quality park and ride schemes so that people do not have to drive into congested town centres”, setting a target for the development of “up to 100 new park and ride schemes” by 2010.
So how are things going? Since our last report in 2003 there certainly has been plenty of activity, with no fewer than 27 new sites opening. Over the last six years, local authorities have invested over £130m in developing park and ride sites.
But how many schemes are now running, and how are they doing? Building on its previous work in 1997, 2000 and 2003, TAS has once again surveyed authorities running and developing projects. Park and Ride Great Britain 2007 presents the results.
The 193 page report presents an analysis of schemes and expenditure, looking at both the extent and type of provision. It includes benchmarking of sites and the first ever estimates of national patronage by P&R. A series of case studies highlights good practice in provision, and a full site listing provides further details of each scheme.
