Tees Valley Bus Network Improvements
Following earlier work in 2004/05 to determine the network best suited to reversing the long term patronage decline and enabling future enhancement measures to be coordinated and targeted to maximise their impact, future proposals have been developed into a package of measures aimed at improving the whole journey, known as the Tees Valley Bus Network Improvements. It comprises the following elements:
- A network to maximise bus patronage whilst maintaining accessibility and social inclusion, with a cost neutral base option and costed, prioritised incremental service improvements;
- Infrastructure and bus priority improvements with an implementation strategy;
- Enhanced passenger facilities and waiting environment
- Priority routes for low floor buses of a consistently high quality;
- Fare and ticketing improvements (and simplification); and
- Other marketing and information initiatives.
An Outline Business Case was submitted to the Department for Transport during October 2006 and can be downloaded here
