Decision - Development of Transport Model

(1)         That Cabinet notes the progress made in developing the new transport model for the city.

To notify the Cabinet of the progress that has been made with the development of the model during 2010/11.

Do Nothing

The transport model is considered essential to allow assessment of potential transport schemes, proposed developments, and land use strategies.   Without a model, the council would have a less robust and consistent basis for decision-making and less understanding of the likely implications of making changes to the transport network, or of increases in movement and activity.

Develop an alternative type of model

The specification of the model has been designed to comply with government guidance, thus allowing it to be used to support any future major transport scheme business case, especially if the scheme required government funding.
