To consider the Passenger Transport Best Value
Review options report.
See attached record of decisions (see
below)
The options in the best value review respond
positively to the views of residents and businesses of Medway that
public transport should be improved and made more attractive to
users.Traffic growth would lead to increasing congestion on the
roads in Medway unless action is taken to offer users a realistic
choice of travel optionsThe option ' cheaper fares for young
people' was deleted from the themed options listed at decision
number 72/2003 above, as the pilot trial would provide data to
assist in bringing forward any detailed options.The themed option
'alternative fuels for buses' and the given option 'link transport
planning and budgets to enable hypothecation of funds to meet
specific targets in relation to bus transport' were also deleted
from the options listed above. These would be dealt with via the
development of the quality bus partnership. The integrated
transport procurement unit gives the opportunity to improve the
efficiency and cost effectiveness of the council's transport
procurement
