  • Report No 988/08
    Report No 988/08 ANGUS COUNCIL INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES COMMITTEE - 14 OCTOBER 2008 SUBJECT: BUS PUNCTUALITY IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP REPORT BY DIRECTOR OF INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES Abstract: This report outlines a proposed Bus Punctuality Improvement Plan for the Arbroath to Dundee bus corridor within Angus and seeks authority from Members to draw up these partnership agreements with Stagecoach Strathtay. 1 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Committee:- 1. agree that Angus Council enters into a Bus Punctuality Improvement Plan as outlined in this report. 2 INTRODUCTION 2.1 At the meeting of this Committee on 28 August 2007, Members agreed that the Council develop a Bus Punctuality Improvement Partnership together with Stagecoach Strathtay on the Arbroath to Dundee corridor (Report 747/07 refers). A copy of the full report detailing the Improvement Partnership has been placed in the Members’ Lounge. 2.2 Bus Punctuality Improvement Partnerships (BPIPs) are agreements between local authorities and bus operators with the aim of providing more reliable bus services. Reliability of services is one of the main factors cited by non bus users as being necessary to achieve modal shift. BPIPs provide a basis for agreed performance delivery of bus services to registered timetables. They provide a mechanism for identifying barriers to achieving the agreed targets with both partners agreeing to develop plans to address and eliminate these barriers. 2.3 The guidance available to date on BPIPs has been issued under the auspices of Department of Transport’s Bus Partnership Forum and accordingly is specific to the local government structure and funding regime in operation south of the border.
