10.2 Transport Integration

Publication Date: 
27 May 2008
 

Government policy over transport has become increasingly focussed on moving passengers and freight onto railways, which is likely to involve modal transfer to/from road at the beginning or the end of the journey. Integration can then be divided into two separate categories - movement of people, and movement of freight.

Given the degree to which TEE analysis can be expected to capture costs and benefits of transport interchanges, impacts which would be expected to be recorded under this Criterion can only be done if the practitioners can answer definitely "yes" to the following two questions:

  • Is there an identifiable impact upon transport interchange resulting from this option?
  • Is it definitely the case that some aspect(s) of this impact will not be captured by the TEE or another aspect of the appraisal?

The text supporting the AST will need to include a brief description as to why the practitioners have answered yes to both. If the answer to one or the other is "no", practitioners should write "no impacts" in the relevant box on the AST.
