  • Surrey's Large Bid to the Local Sustainable
    SURREy’S LARGE BID TO THE LOCAL SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT FUND CONTENTS Headline information 5 Foreword 7 Executive summary 9 Business cases 15 l Strategic case 17 - Guildford package 24 - Woking package 46 - Redhill/Reigate package 66 l Economic case 105 l Commercial case 161 l Financial case 167 l Management case 175 TRAVELSMART 3 FOREWORD Travel SMART is our plan to boost Surrey’s economy by improving sustainable transport, tackling congestion and reducing carbon emissions. Surrey has a very strong economy. The county is a net contributor to the Exchequer, with a tax income of £6.12 million per year. In addition, Surrey has a GVA of £26 billion – larger than any area other than London. It is not surprising that the South East in general and Surrey in particular have been called the engine room of the UK economy. Our excellent location and strong road and rail network have helped to make Surrey a prime location for national and international businesses. A third of the M25 runs through the county. Surrey residents and businesses can enjoy the county’s unparalleled environment and still be within an easy commute of London, Heathrow and Gatwick. We have more than 80 rail stations in the county. Surrey is both an excellent place to live and to locate a business. But these advantages have also brought problems. Surrey’s roads are heavily used with more than twice the national average traffic flows. Much of the road network is saturated which means that a traffic incident can cause chronic congestion as drivers look for alternative routes.

    PROMOTING TRAVEL SMART IN REDHILL An Interactive Qualifying Project Report completed in partial fulfillment of the Bachelor of Science degree at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA Submitted by: Kelsi Callahan Matt Chareth Rachel Lewis Matt Sprague April 25, 2013 Submitted to: Professor Ruth Smith Professor Steve Weininger In Cooperation With Raymond Dill and Reigate and Banstead Borough Council Abstract Located just south of London, the town of Redhill is a popular transportation hub for commuters traveling to and from the city and is affected by heavy congestion, which negatively impacts the local area. This project, sponsored by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, identified problems pertaining to local transportation and determined services a Travel SMART hub can provide to solve some of these problems. These services focused primarily on encouraging cycling between the two neighboring towns Reigate and Redhill. i Acknowledgements We would like to thank our sponsor, Raymond Dill, for the support and guidance he supplied to help us complete our project. Raymond was great to work with, and he provided research opportunities that we would not have had without him. We would also like to thank our project advisors Ruth Smith, Stephen Weininger, and Dominic Golding for supplying feedback and helping us refine our report. Our advisors helped to provide a scope and direction for the project and offered constant guidance for the duration of the project. We would like to thank Harris Vallianatos for his contributions and guidance during the early stages of our research to introduce us to materials we would not have found otherwise. We would also like to thank Gayle Amorowson for her input and support of our project during our time at Reigate and Banstead Borough Council.
