Abstract

A study commissioned by the UK Department for Transport to develop and pilot accessibility planning techniques in England, outside London, is described. The study examined how accessibility planning, as described in the Social Exclusion Unit's 'Making the Connections' report, can be used in integrated transport planning. Eight local authorities were selected to participate in the study as follows: access to work (rural - Nottingham County Council, urban - Tyne and Wear Public Transport Executive (PTE)); access to education (rural - Devon County Council, urban - Plymouth City Council/Greater Manchester PTE); access to healthcare (rural - Lincolnshire County Council, urban - Merseytravel PTE); access to food shopping (rural - Wiltshire County Council, urban - Merseytravel PTE). The key findings relating to six themes are described: building support for accessibility planning amongst key stakeholders, managing the enormity of the task, processes and timescales, evidence from analysis and indicators, statutory/policy issues, and support and advice.
