Abstract

This leaflet is one of a series of documents from the ITS Assist Project. ITS Assist is a Department for Transport (DfT) initiative that aims to encourage and promote across the UK the use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) as tools to implement local transport policy objectives. Public Transport Priority systems are designed to improve journey times, and the service reliability of public transport vehicles in line with local authority policy objectives. Priority can be provided using physical measures or using technology. Public Transport Priority can improve the quality of bus services and, as a result, can lead to greater patronage. This leaflet provides an overview of the various components that combine to provide Public Transport Priority, and show how these can be integrated into other traffic management systems.
