CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies Introduction

a) CECA Transport Group The CECA Transport Group brings together senior representatives of all our member companies to understand at first hand our customers’ needs, the wider policy environment and how we can work together to deliver the world-class infrastructure the UK so desperately needs. The group works collectively to ensure the voice of civil engineering contractors is heard and is widely respected across the infrastructure sector.

b) Executive Summary This document is an aid to members as they navigate the new opportunities offered by the established and the emerging Sub- National Transport Bodies (STBs).

STBs are pan-regional strategic bodies overseeing the transport needs and priorities over a wide geographic region. Driven by the need to support regional economic growth and to create a balanced economy across the nation they bring a joined up approach to the planning, prioritisation and delivery of transport improvements across a number of England’s regions.

Understanding STBs offers an opportunity for CECA members to get involved in the forward strategy and to help deliver outstanding infrastructure innovatively and efficiently. This guide will help them navigate and understand at an early stage the scope and scale of future opportunities.

Prior to the emphasis on regional transport outside London, the creation of a mayoralty in London in 2000 and the associated powers over transport granted to Transport for London showed that a more strategic approach to transport had the potential to generate benefits for the economy and for customers alike.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies Transport for the North

About Transport for the North (TfN) is England’s first STB and the first to receive statutory status. Its overarching ambition is to transform the North of England’s transport network, driving forward substantial economic growth.

TfN works as a partnership and as such speaks with one voice to make its case for transformational growth. It brings together the North’s nineteen local transport authorities, its business leaders, Network Rail, Highways England, and HS2 Ltd, all working closely with central Government.

TfN does not seek to replace or replicate the work of existing local transport bodies. Its goal is to add value through the development of the strategic transport networks ensuring that funding and strategy decisions are informed by local knowledge, pan-regional requirements and a strong economic case. Building on the 2016 Northern Powerhouse Independent Economic Review, TfN is now carrying out further work to strengthen its economic case.

TfN’s Board members also include LEP and local authority representatives as well as those from the former Rail North Authorities (then known as Rail North) and now known as Strategic Rail.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies Work Programme TFN has 7 core programmes at the heart of its work. Government has confirmed funding for Northern Powerhouse Rail and A69 junction improvements and A66 dualling, as well as a commitment to fund studies for the proposed TransPennine tunnel.

• Strategic Development Corridors: TfN’s integrated rail and major roads reports, published in June 2017, identified 26 connectivity priorities which have been brought together within seven defined Strategic Development Corridors. Each corridor represents an economic area where evidence suggests the most progress towards transformational growth could be made by bringing forward major road and rail investment. The corridors encompass the needs of people, business, freight and logistics. They have formed the focus of wider stakeholder consultation on the draft Strategic Transport Plan.

• Northern Powerhouse Rail is a specific programme of interventions (at one time described as HS3) which will better connect the key economic areas and cities of the North. Costed proposals for the whole of the Northern Powerhouse Rail network are being finalised, and the Strategic Outline Business Case will be submitted to the Secretary of State for Transport by the end of 2018.

• Rail Franchising Investment: Strategic Rail (formerly known as Rail North) became part of TfN in April 2018. A Long Term Rail Strategy for the North of England has been published which will feed into TfN’s Strategic Transport Plan.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies • Major Roads: TfN has identified a Major Road Network for the North which identifies local and strategic roads that are vital for economic growth. These priority routes will inform the recommendations in the Strategic Transport Plan for the North, based on the seven Strategic Development Corridors. TfN is also working with Highways England and the Department for Transport (DfT) on three strategic road studies for the North, which are being carried out as part of the Government’s second Roads Investment Strategy, The Northern Trans Pennine Routes Study, The North West Quadrant Study and The Trans Pennine Tunnel Studies.

• Integrated and Smart Travel is a programme to introduce smart ticketing across the North with a tap-in, tap-out system and a ‘fair-price promise’ for passengers on public transport across the North.

• Freight and Logistics: The first report on this was published in September 2016. TfN is undertaking enhanced analysis and data modelling, which has identified improved connections and demand for freight and logistics and will feed into TfN’s future work.

• International Connectivity: With its Strategic Transport Plan TfN is identifying and evaluating transport interventions that will improve access to the North’s ports and airports, allowing the North to increase its productivity, create more job opportunities and make a greater contribution to the UK economy.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies Strategic Transport Plan TfN published its Draft Strategic Transport Plan and Integrated Sustainability Appraisal for consultation. The consultation closed in April 2018, and the outcome from the consultation will be published in Autumn 2018 with further opportunity for input from stakeholders. The plan is focused on economic growth, primarily along the following corridors:

• Connecting the Energy Coasts

• Central Pennines

• Southern Pennines

• West and Wales

• East Coast to Scotland

• North West to Sheffield City Region

• Yorkshire to Scotland.

The consultation results have been collated by Ipsos MORI and, together with the ongoing work to the Development Corridors, will result in a delivery programme to be published in Spring 2019.

Meetings TfN’s Board, Scrutiny and Audit committee, and Rail North committee meetings are open to the public, with exceptions for when confidential or ‘exempt’ information is discussed.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies CECA’s engagement with TfN CECA has a good working relationship with TfN and has acted in an advisory capacity as a recognised stakeholder during the development of TFN’s Draft Strategic Plan, submitting a comprehensive response to the plan. CECA continues to participate in the stakeholder engagement events across the North. CECA believes that substantial underinvestment outside London and the South East is a key cause of everyday challenges on regional road and rail networks. This contributes in the long-term to reduced business investment, growth, productivity, and the stagnation of communities.

Through CECA’s engagement with TfN during the preparation for and consultation on this Strategic Transport Plan we have been encouraged by the commercial approach that it brings to transport, based on the benefits of £100bn growth in GVA and 850,000 new jobs.

This complements CECA’s own research which found that for every 1,000 jobs that are directly created in infrastructure construction, employment as a whole rises by 3,053 jobs. Furthermore, every £1 billion of infrastructure construction increases overall economic activity by £2.842 billion.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies England’s Economic Heartland

About England’s Economic Heartland brings political and business leaders together in a strategic collaborative partnership with a shared commitment to realise the economic potential of the Oxford – Milton Keynes – Cambridge corridor and surrounding areas.

Its membership spans 11 local transport authorities and three Local Enterprise Partnerships, stretching from Swindon to Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire to Hertfordshire. It is also increasingly working with colleagues east of Cambridgeshire to ensure national strategic linkages are understood and developed.

The National Infrastructure Commission has said the region could become the UK’s Silicon Valley, doubling or even tripling the size of its economy – a scale which is truly transformational in nature, requiring an approach that goes beyond ‘business as usual’. Government has made realising the corridor’s potential a national priority.

Key to achieving this ambition is improved connectivity. Delivery of the multi-modal spine of East West Rail and the Oxford to Cambridge expressway will transform housing and economic areas, bringing the region far closer together.

EEH believes it is essential for investment in the multi-modal spine to be matched by connecting infrastructure and services, taking into account of how the digital economy will change the nature and scale of future travel demand.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies England’s Economic Heartland’s Role England’s Economic Heartland provides the region’s voice on • Need for stronger integration of investment by strategic infrastructure and services. Its leadership is focused Government, its agencies, local authorities, as well as on addressing barriers to growth, and connecting people and infrastructure owners and service providers places with opportunities and services, in a way that delivers ‘net betterment’ in terms of impact on the natural and built EEH is funded by local partners and the Department for environment. Transport (DfT). It has decided to seek statutory body status, which, alongside the draft transport strategy, will be subject • Its overarching Transport Strategy will be a 30 year to consultation. strategic vision for the transport system that puts the needs of businesses and individuals at the forefront of investment decisions

• Its work on wider strategic infrastructure is focused on making sure investment in transport, digital and utilities infrastructure is ‘joined up’

• Working with delivery partners, EEH is focused on identifying investment priorities, getting the funding secured and then delivering improvements to budget and on time.

In collaboration with Government and partners across the region, EEH is committed to creating places where people and businesses realise their potential, and are able to compete on the global stage for UK plc.

It is recognition that:

• Strategic infrastructure issues (and solutions) extend beyond any one single area

• Issues that are common to one or more areas benefit from a co-ordinated response

Strategic Delivery Partners England’s Economic Heartland’s Strategic Delivery Partners’ group brings together the private sector organisations which provide highway services to its local transport authorities. This collaborative approach ensures EEH benefits from having access to specialist and technical advice throughout the process of identifying infrastructure priorities, developing proposals and, in due course, their delivery. The ambition is to accelerate the delivery of planned investment, thereby reducing its cost.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies EEH’s Work Strategic Transport Forum and Transport Strategy England’s Economic Heartland established the Strategic Transport Forum in February 2016 and is committed to using this as the basis for a statutory Sub-national Transport Body.

The Forum’s work to put in place the overarching Transport Strategy will be used to make the case for additional investment in support of the business investment that will deliver economic growth.

The Transport Strategy, due to be published in draft form in summer 2019, will be shaped by three major pieces of work:

• Expressway Connectivity Study: examining how communities not on the expressway itself can still benefit from it

• Major Road Network: identifying strategically important local authority roads which link people with economic opportunities – and developing a pipeline of investment into them

• Freight and Logistics Study: ensuring future transport needs of businesses shape investment priorities – key to realising the region’s economic potential

EEH has developed a Regional Evidence Base enabling the region to develop policies and proposals on a consistent basis, which are shaped by consideration of future growth patterns and changes in policy.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies Priorities (Transport) • East West Rail and the Oxford to Cambridge expressway, creating a multi-modal spine transforming connectivity across the corridor

• North-south passenger services between Northampton and Old Oak Common via Milton Keynes, Aylesbury and Wycombe

• Addressing capacity restraints on rail routes serving Cambridge and between Oxford and Didcot

• Improvements to M1, A1 (M), M11, M25 South West Quadrant and A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet.

Wider strategic infrastructure and innovation An EEH priority is ensuring investment in digital infrastructure and utilities is aligned to the overarching ambition of realising the Heartland’s economic potential.

This includes:

• Developing the business case for East West Rail to be delivered as a digital-enabled corridor

• Developing bids that enable the region to draw on and drive forward initiatives around Connected Autonomous Vehicles

• Working with innovators to identify future challenges and opportunities that need to be addressed today. For example, EEH has signed an MOU with Transport Systems Catapult, which will focus on consolidating live transport data from across the region in order to facilitate joined up transport solutions.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies National Policy Statement England’s Economic Heartland is promoting the idea of a National Policy Statement (NPS) for the Heartland area. This would act as a statement of intent on the part of Government that the growth corridor is a long-term national priority – while sending an important signal to international investors. The NPS would be the mechanism by which investments in strategic infrastructure can be aligned, supporting delivery of planned growth and giving an opportunity to accelerate the delivery process.

At the same time, EEH is developing a pipeline of investment within an indicative funding framework, while looking at how development can be accelerated.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies Work Programme

July 2017 Work begins on the evidence base for EEH’s Transport Strategy Summer 2017 EEH begins engagement on plans to become a STB November 2017 (Autumn Budget) National Infrastructure Commission report on Oxford-Milton Keynes- Cambridge arc. Funding confirmed for East West Rail, and announcement that EEH is commissioned by Government to produce an expressway connectivity study September 2018 Government announces its preferred corridor for the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway. EEH also publish five asks of Government ahead of the 2018 Budget. Kier, WSP, Jacobs, Ringway Jacobs, Skanska and VolkerFitzpatrick sign an agreement to work collaboratively with EEH. 2019/20 Transport Strategy is published for consultation and EEH submits proposal to establish STB 2020/2021 STB established and overarching Transport Strategy implemented

CECA engagement CECA has been involved with EEH on its journey to becoming a statutory STB. We believe that EEH’s focus on the Oxford- Milton Keynes-Cambridge Corridor is the right one and supports the wider programme envisaged through the addition of new members and the move to statutory status as an STB. We look forward to continued engagement in the future. EEH has, in 2017 and 2018, held engagement events organised by the Highways UK team at Silverstone which have been well attended by CECA members.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies Transport for London

About Transport for London (TfL) is an integrated transport authority responsible for delivering the ’s transport strategy. TfL covers the daily running of London’s public transport network and its main roads.

The Mayor’s Transport Strategy sets out the aim that 80% of all journeys in London will be made on foot, by cycle or using public transport by 2041.

The services operated by TfL include , , , , TfL Rail, , , London Dial- a-Ride, , Santander Cycles and the Emirates Air Line.

TfL was established in 2000 as part of the Greater London Authority. It gained most of its functions from its predecessor London Regional Transport in 2000. TfL did not take over responsibility for the London Underground until 2003.

TfL is funded by fares income (the largest single source of its income); other income (including advertising income, property rental and income from the Congestion Charge); grant funding from the Department for Transport and Greater London Authority funding; and borrowing and cash movements.

Delivery and actions plans are being developed which include more detail about how the Mayor and TfL will achieve the Mayor’s Transport Strategy proposals.

Healthy Streets The Healthy Streets Approach aims to improve air quality, reduce congestion and help make London’s diverse communities greener, healthier and more attractive.

Electric vehicles & rapid charging Zero emission capable (ZEC) vehicles have environmental and financial benefits, and are vital to London becoming a zero carbon city by 2050. TfL is working with partners to develop a network to enable quick and efficient charging.

Barking Riverside extension The proposed Barking Riverside extension will add 4km to the London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking line, and take it from Barking to a new station at Barking Riverside. Construction is expected to begin in 2018, with train services starting during 2021.

London’s airports London’s current Mayor Sadiq Khan believes that London’s airports bring economic and social benefits to London. But he is also concerned about the environmental impact of aviation expansion.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies Bakerloo Line Extension TfL is considering extending the Bakerloo line. An extension of the line to Lewisham via the Old Kent Road and New Cross Gate has been chosen. If a decision is made to go forward with the scheme, and the funding needed is secured, construction could start in 2023 with services running by around 2028/29.

Developing the Rail Network The Mayor of London is keen to have greater responsibility for London’s suburban railways.

New River Crossings for London The Mayor has set out proposals for new river crossings that could be built in the next 5 to 10 years between east and southeast London. Most notably, TfL has permission from the Department for Transport to build the Silvertown Tunnel, a new twin-bore road tunnel under the Thames in east London that will link the Greenwich Peninsula and Silvertown. Construction could begin in early 2019, with the new tunnel expected to open from 2024.

Rotherhithe-Canary Wharf Crossing A new river crossing is proposed for pedestrians and cyclists between Rotherhithe and Canary Wharf.

Crossrail 2 Following on from the completion of the Elizabeth Line in 2019, Crossrail 2 is London and the South East’s next mega rail project. If given the green light, Crossrail 2 would serve stations throughout the South East, linking south west and north east London, as well as destinations across Surrey and Hertfordshire. Its aim is to alleviate severe overcrowding anticipated on commuter rail routes into Central London by the 2030s. Should permission be granted, construction is expected to start around in the early 2020s, with the new line opening from the early 2030s.

CECA Transport Group: Sub-National Transport Bodies Procurement TfL, unlike the STBs, is a procurement body, and this is an important distinction. It has direct control over transport provision and major transport projects, while the continue to have responsibility for the non-TfL highway network.
