For Members to consider the report of the of the Interim Strategy and Programme Director.

10.1          Members received the report from the Interim Programme and Strategy Director who highlighted the key points in the report.

 

10.2       The Chair asked if work on Smart Ticketing could be shared.

 

The Interim Programme and Strategy Director stated that he would need to confirm what was possible to share. All of TfN’s work on smart ticketing has been shared with constituent authorities and the new work on digital mobility will further address opportunities to share thinking and best practice.

 

10.3       The report was welcomed by the Committee.  Members were pleased that TfN is being consulted on Bus Back Better and  the potential to share information on smart ticketing and other relevant intelligence with constituent authorities.

 

In order to achieve modal shift the Committee would like to see a fairer funding situation with greater convenience and greater access to public transport.

Resolved:

1)   That Scrutiny Committee notes the report.

2)   That the Committee notes the activities currently being undertaken to support LTAs and the forthcoming research on social exclusion.

3)   That the Committee notes that the DfT has offered additional funding to Strategic Transport Bodies to provide more support to Local Transport Authorities, and TfN’s initial plans for further activity in this area.
