EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

GMTU Report 1580 Executive Summary

TRANSPORT STATISTICS GREATER MANCHESTER 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Local Transport Plan Previously, indicators have been categorised as Best Value, mandatory and local headline. Following changes to the government’s monitoring system indicators are now categorised as National, former Best Value, previously mandatory and local in this report. In most instances, the indicators have a base of 2003/04, a target of 2010/11 and a trajectory of milestones to reach in the intervening years. Progress against these milestones is summarised here. Maintenance (National and former Best Value) • The majority of maintenance targets are being met on principal roads and non-principal roads. There appears to have been progress in maintaining unclassified roads, footway condition and ease of use of Public Rights Of Way (PROW). Inconsistencies in methodology, target setting and revisions to the 2007/08 data make it difficult to form firm conclusions on progress.

Road Casualties (National and former Best Value) • Child killed and seriously injured (KSI) casualties (NI 48) and slight casualties are well on track and, while we have not done as well as we would have hoped for on total KSI (NI 47), the numbers are steadily decreasing.

Public Transport (National and former Best Value) • Rail is on track whereas Bus (NI 177a) and Metrolink (NI 177b) patronage are slightly below target.

• The final target for bus satisfaction (formerly BV 104) has been exceeded. Road and Other Traffic (National and previously Mandatory)

• Area wide vehicle mileage (LTP2) has decreased and is on track • There has been a sharp increase in the estimated number of cyclists from 2008 to 2009. The final target has been exceeded meaning that LTP3 is well on track. • The mode share of journey to schools (LTP4) shows an increase in car use for secondary school and a decrease for primary school pupils. In total, the % car use to school is almost meeting the target. • Peak period traffic flow to urban centres (LTP6) is on track and has in fact decreased year on year. This is probably due in part to the effects of the recession. • Congestion (LTP7) has also exceeded its target.

Page 3 GMTU Report 1580 Executive Summary

Accessibility (National and previously Mandatory)

• The former LTP1a indicator (percentage of households within 30 minutes of a category A interchange or Manchester City Centre by 08:45) is being added to with indicators based on each District’s local priorities, in order to better reflect Local Area Agreements. LTP1a will still be calculated.

• No Greater Manchester target has been set for the LTP1b replacement (NI 176 accessibility to employment by working age people) as no districts chose to set targets against this national indicator in their Local Area Agreements. LTP1b will still be calculated.

• The methodology for capturing and reporting bus punctuality (LTP5 NI 178) and reliability indicators has been reviewed, and revised to ensure it is fit for purpose and meets business requirements. The sample sizes have been increased and are statistically significant at county and district level. The observations occur at start and midpoints in line with LTP guidance (and also DfT guidance from the Traffic Commissioners). The methodology ensures that surveys are consistent, repeatable every quarter, and the data is robust. The datasets will allow trend analysis from a new base in 2009/10. The 2009/10 values are 76.8% for LTP5a NI 178a (% of non-frequent scheduled services on time) and 96.4% for LTP5b NI 178b (% of services that operate against the number scheduled)

Pollution • The index of change in the emissions of NOx from major roads (LTP8) was on track in 2008 but data is yet to be available for 2009.

• The index of change in the emissions of CO2 from major roads (LTP8) was on track in 2008 but data is yet to be available for 2009.

Public Transport (local)

• The percentage of wheelchair accessible buses indicator (LTP10a) has been calculated using data from the revised monitoring system and the new base for 2009/10 is 87.6%. • The percentage of accessible bus stops on QBC routes LTP10b has exceeded the target. The QBC programme has now ended. • A new definition of accessibility is being developed for accessible rail stations (LTP10c) and there will be a revised indicator and targets.

Road and Other Traffic (local) • Although the numbers of people walking (LTP11) has decreased since 2005/06, the target is still being met.

Modal share of trips to the regional centre, the modal share of trips to other key centres (LTP12b) and Manchester Airport (LTP12a&c) are all on track.

Road Traffic Traffic Flow Changes on Major Roads in Greater Manchester 2008-2009 Table 1 gives a summary of percentage changes in traffic flows in Greater Manchester between 2008 and 2009. • There was a 1% increase in traffic flows on motorways, 1% decrease on A roads and a 1% decrease on B roads between 2008 and 2009. Traffic flows remained unchanged on minor roads. • Car flows decreased on B roads, increased on motorways and minor roads and remained unchanged on A roads. Goods traffic decreased across all road classes. • Pedal cycle flows increased by 9% on A roads, 13% on B roads and 2% on minor roads. Note, though, that as the flows are small, measured changes are less statistically reliable than for other vehicle types.

• Indices of national and local growth in traffic flows on motorways and A roads since 1993 are illustrated in Figure 1. • Traffic flows on Greater Manchester motorways showed an increase of 33% between 1993 and 2009 compared with a national increase of 31%. Nationally, motorways showed a slight fall between 2008 and 2009, while local flows increased by 1%. • Traffic flow levels on A roads in Greater Manchester have shown less increase than they have nationally since 1993 although both have been fairly static in the last 10 years. Flows on local A roads fell slightly between 2008 and 2009 while nationally there was no change.

Index: 1993=100 Composition of Traffic

• In 2009 cars made up about 80% of all road traffic. The proportion of cars ranged from 76% on motorways to 84% on minor roads • Motorways had a higher proportion of goods traffic than other roads. This relative difference increased with size of goods vehicle. Articulated heavy goods vehicles or those with more than 4 rigid axles accounted for 5.6% of traffic on motorways, 1.3% on A roads, 0.5% on B roads and 0.4% on minor roads. Vehicle Kilometres on Motorways, A Roads and B Roads in Greater Manchester in 2009 • Motorways made up 12% of the major road network (motorways, A and B roads) and carried 45% of traffic including 61% of goods vehicle traffic. The average annual flow per kilometre on motorways was 34.4 million vehicles. • A roads made up 61% of the major road network and carried 44% of traffic. The average annual flow per kilometre on A roads was 6.7 million vehicles. • B roads made up 27% of the major road network and carried 11% of traffic. The average annual flow per kilometre on B roads was 3.9 million vehicles. • Vehicle kilometres on major roads have increased by 19% since 1993 but this overall increase reflects increases of 50% on motorways compared with 5% on A roads. It also masks an overall of 1% fall between 2008 and 2009. Traffic Speeds • Average morning peak hour (0800-0900) speeds are 41 mph on GM motorways and 19 mph on built-up A and B roads. • Average inter–peak speeds (1000-1600) are 54 mph on motorways and 23 mph on built-up A and B roads.

Key Centre Monitoring

Bolton – Between 1997 and 2010, traffic flows have decreased in all time periods. A link road built from A676 Folds Road to St Peter’s Way continues to divert some traffic away from the town centre in conjunction with traffic management measures. The proportion of car journeys to non-car journeys has decreased in all time periods between 2001 and 2010. Walking trips have decreased in all time periods between 2009 and 2010, while bus and cycle trips have increased in the off-peak and evening peak periods.

Bury – Car trips have decreased and non-car trips have increased in all periods between 2002 and 2010. Levels of Metrolink use, cycling and walking have all increased between 2002 and 2010, but have seen slight decreases in the off-peak and evening peak periods between 2008 and 2010. Overall the total number of trips has increased between 2002 and 2010. Derby Way was opened between these surveys and the pedestrianisation of the Rock and development of that area is ongoing.

Manchester – Traffic flows have decreased in the morning and off peak periods between 1997 and 2010. Between 2002 and 2010, there has been a 14% decrease in the number of car trips in the morning peak, while there have been increases of 30% and 82% for rail and walking trips respectively. Between 2009 and 2010 there has been a slight increase in the number of car trips, with the total number of trips increasing in the morning peak period and decreasing in the off peak period. Between 2002 and 2010 the total number of trips has increased by 4% in the morning peak period and 16% in the off peak period.

Oldham – Traffic flows have increased in all time periods between 1997 and 2009, with increases of 2%, 7% and 19% respectively in the morning peak, off peak and evening peak periods. The redevelopment of the south side of the key centre and access from Oldham Way between the base and 2009 has caused more traffic to cross the cordon. The proportion of car trips to non-car trips has increased in all periods between 2001 and 2009, but has fallen between 2008 and 2009. Cycle and walking trips have increased in all periods between 2008 and 2009.

Rochdale – Traffic flows in 2010 are slightly below their 1997 levels in the morning and off peak periods, but are slightly higher in the evening peak period. The proportion of car trips to non-car trips has fallen slightly in the morning peak period between 2009 and 2010, but remains constant in the other time periods. Walking trips have increased in all periods, as have the total number of trips.

Eccles – Traffic flows have decreased significantly between 1997 and 2010, with flows in the morning peak period almost being half of their 1997 level. The proportion of car trips to non-car trips has decreased in all periods between 2001 and 2010 and between 2009 and 2010. The completion of the Eccles bypass and the opening of Metrolink between 1997 and 2001 have both contributed to the decrease in car mode share for Eccles. Walking trips

Page 7 GMTU Report 1580 Executive Summary

have increased in the morning and evening peak periods and have remained fairly constant in the off peak period.

Stockport – Traffic flows in all periods have decreased between 1997 and 2010, with flows in the morning and evening peak periods being at 85% of their 1997 values. The proportion of car trips to non-car trips has fallen in all periods since 2003, but there was a rise in the proportion of car trips between 2008 and 2009 in the off peak and evening peak periods. The number of walking trips has increased in the morning and off peak periods between 2008 and 2009, while rail trips have decreased in all periods. Overall the number of trips has decreased in all periods since 2003, with there being small decreases in the number of trips in all periods between 2008 and 2009.

Ashton-under-Lyne – Traffic flows in 2009 have fallen by 10% in the morning peak, but have increased by 11% in the evening peak and are at their 1997 values in the off peak period. The proportion of car trips to non-car trips has fallen in the morning and evening peak periods between 2001 and 2009, but remains at the same level in the off peak period. Between 2008 and 2009, the proportion of car trips has increased in all periods. Overall the number of trips has decreased in the morning peak period but increased in the other two periods. A new development, which includes IKEA and Sainsbury’s, was built just outside the cordon between the 2004 and 2007 surveys.

Altrincham – Traffic flows have decreased in all time periods between 1997 and 2010, particularly in the off-peak period where levels are at 76% of their 1997 value. The proportions of car trips to non-car trips are below 2002 values in all time periods, but have increased between 2009 and 2010. The number of walking trips has decreased in all time periods, while cycling and rail trips have increased in the morning and off peak periods. Overall the number of trips has decreased in the morning and off peak periods but increased in the evening peak period between 2002 and 2010.

Wigan – Traffic flows have decreased in all periods since 1997, with levels now at 84%, 74% and 79% of their previous levels in the morning peak, off peak and evening peak periods respectively. The proportion of car trips to non-car trips has fallen in all periods between 2003 and 2010 and also between 2009 and 2010. Rail and walking trips have increased in all periods between 2009 and 2010, while cycle and bus trips have increased in the evening peak periods. The increase in the number of walking trips into the key centre is thought to be due to the relocation of large car parks. Overall the number of trips has increased in all periods between 2003 and 2010.

Other Road Traffic Statistics Car Occupancy

Weekday surveys at 25 A road sites in 2010 showed that, between 08:00 and 09:00, 83% of cars had only a single occupant. This compares with 71% of driver only cars during the off-peak period (10:00-12:00).

Page 8 GMTU Report 1580 Executive Summary

Peak car occupancy has decreased from 1.21 persons per car in 2009 to 1.20 in 2010. Off-peak car occupancy has increased from 1.33 in 2009 to 1.34 in 2010.

Longer term trends, based on 10 sites, show that occupancy levels in 2010, after an initial increase between 2008 and 2009, have remained constant. This follows a period of stable occupancy levels in the 1990s, followed by a decline between 2000 and 2008. The trend of off-peak car occupancy is less clear, but since 2008 there has been a steady increase in the average number of occupants. Cycle Flows

Pedal cycle kilometres on A & B roads decreased by 17% between 2001 and 2004, but since then have increased steadily to the extent that 2009 figures are now 7% above their 2001 values.

Information from automatic cycle counters shows that cycle flows on routes used by leisure cyclists peak at 14:00 on Sunday. For commuter routes the peak hour is 17:00 on a weekday. Cycle flows are highest on leisure routes during the summer, and on commuting routes during the autumn.

Public Transport

Rail Patronage

The number of rail passengers travelling towards Manchester City Centre from stations in the GMPTE area during the morning peak period remained 45% higher in 2009 than in 1991 despite the closure of stations on the Oldham loop prior to conversion to Metrolink.

The number of off-peak passengers increased by 115% between 1991 and 2009.

Peak patronage decreased by 3% between 2008 and 2009 with falls on the Rochdale/Oldham, Marple/Glossop and Stockport lines. In contrast, off-peak patronage increased by 1% to continue its upward trend. Metrolink Patronage

The number of inbound peak boarders on the Altrincham line decreased by 6% between 2008 and 2009 leaving patronage nearly 13% lower than in 2006, prior to the line’s closure for track upgrading. Off-peak boarders decreased by 9% between 2008 and 2009, to a level 11% lower than in 2006.

Weekday peak period (07:30-09:30) boarders on Manchester bound trams on the Bury line decreased by 25% between 2008 and 2009 to their lowest level in ten years. Off-peak (09:30-13:30) boarders decreased by 20% but remained 8% above 1999 levels.

Page 9 GMTU Report 1580 Executive Summary

Peak boarders inbound to Manchester on the Eccles line decreased by 14% between 2008 and 2009, following almost continuous year-on-year increases since 2000. Peak alighters outbound from Manchester decreased by 16% to a level 33% below that in 2007.

Off-peak boarders towards Manchester decreased by 24% between 2008 and 2009 and alighters towards Eccles decreased by 33%.

GMTU Report 1580 Local Transport Plan

FORMER BEST VALUE INDICATORS NI 168: Principal Road Condition 1.1 This indicator was formerly the Best Value Indicator BV 223. Table 1.1 shows the proportion of principal roads where structural maintenance should be considered in each district. The indicator measures the percentage of the local authority’s principal (that is, local authority owned) A-road carriageways where maintenance should be considered. 1.2 The performance indicator is derived from a survey of the surface condition of all the local authority’s classified carriageway network, using survey vehicles that are accredited as conforming to the SCANNER (Surface Condition Assessment for the National Network of Roads) specification and processing software that is accredited as conforming to the UKPMS (UK Pavement Management System) standards. 1.3 Indicator guidance has been amended since the publication of GMLTP2. Most districts revise targets annually in the light of most recent results.

NI 169: Non-principal Classified Road Condition 1.4 This indicator was formerly the Best Value Indicator BV 224a. Table 1.2 shows the proportion of non-principal classified roads where structural maintenance should be considered in each district. The indicator measures the percentage of the local authority’s B-road and C-road carriageways where maintenance should be considered. 1.5 The performance indicator is derived from a survey of the surface condition of the local authority’s classified carriageway network, using survey vehicles that are accredited as conforming to the SCANNER (Surface Condition Assessment for the National Network of Roads) specification and processing software that is accredited as conforming to the UKPMS (UK Pavement Management System) standards. 1.6 Results reported are a combination of (a) 100% of the B-class network surveyed in both directions; and (b) 100% of the C-class network surveyed in one direction. For any given length of road, data from either the current financial year or the previous financial year may be used. 1.7 Indicator guidance has been amended since the publication of GMLTP2. Most districts revise targets annually in the light of most recent results.

Unclassified Road Condition 1.8 This indicator was formerly the Best Value Indicator BV 224b and most districts are continuing to report on it for the LTP. Table 1.3 shows the proportion of unclassified roads where structural maintenance should be considered in each district. 1.9 Indicator guidance has been amended frequently since the publication of GMLTP2 and districts have produced revised targets.

Principal Footway Condition 1.10 The indicator was formerly the Best Value Indicator BV 187 and some districts are continuing to report it. Table 1.4 shows the proportion of category 1, 1a and 2 footways that may require maintenance to preserve serviceability in each district. 1.11 Many districts have set revised targets from those originally published in GMLTP2. The reasons for such revisions vary from district to district as measurement methods have improved.

Table 1.5 & Figure 1.1 show the annual average number of killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties for Greater Manchester along with the targets set in GMLTP2. 1.13 Despite not being on profile to meet a 50% reduction in KSIs by 2010, the total for 2008 (average 2007 to 2009) is still 33% below the base years. The national target reduction (40%) should be met.

NI 177a: Bus Patronage 1.18 This indicator was formerly the Best Value Indicator BV 102a. Table 1.8 & Figure 1.4 show the number of bus passenger trips in Greater Manchester. 1.19 A range of values (based on confidence limits of 2%) was originally agreed with DfT for the annual targets. The baseline has been revised since last year. Consequently the original milestone targets have been revised. Additionally, targets from 2008/09 have been further revised to reflect the GMPTE target setting regime. The GMPTE refresh their targets for the next three years annually.

Rail Patronage 1.20 This indicator was formerly the Best Value Indicator BV 102b and GMPTE are continuing to report on it for the LTP. Table 1.9 & Figure 1.5 show the number of rail passenger trips in Greater Manchester. A range of values were originally agreed with DfT for the annual targets based on confidence limits of 7.5%. Rail patronage has increased substantially since the publication of GMLTP2 and the 2009/10 value, although slightly below the previous year’s value, is well ahead of target. 1.21 Targets from 2008/09 have been revised to reflect the GMPTE target setting regime.

Bus Satisfaction (residents) 1.24 Table 1.11 & Figure 1.7 show results from the triennial AGMA bus satisfaction survey (formerly BV 104). The last survey results, for 2006/07, suggested that bus satisfaction among residents was increasing and exceeding the GMLTP2 trajectory. Bus satisfaction data is no longer collected through the AGMA survey. However, the final target for bus satisfaction (formerly BV 104) has been exceeded.

OTHER PREVIOUSLY MANDATORY INDICATORS LTP 1a: NI 175 Accessibility (Households) 1.25 Table 1.12 & Figure 1.8 show the percentage of households within 30 minutes’ access by public transport to a Category A interchange or Manchester City Centre by 8:45.

1.26 The indicator values for 2005/06 and 2006/07 differ from those reported last year because they have been recalculated following the identification of an error in DfT data. The target has been revised accordingly. The 2007/08 figure is slightly above that for 2006/07 but has failed to reach the 83.6% accessibility targeted in GMLTP2. There has been a decline between 2007/08 and 2009/10.

1.27 In line with Local Area Agreements, each District’s accessibility priorities are better reflected by specific local indicators, rather than the general countywide LTP1a indicator, although LTP1a is still calculated.

LTP 3: Cycling 1.31 Table 1.15 & Figure 1.10 show the index of change in cycling trips based on automatic cycle counts.

1.32 In order to maximise use of data from the 60 core Automatic Cycle Counter sites, the GMLTP2 target trajectory was revised to use 2005 as the baseline. The target of a 6% increase in cycle flows at the 60 core sites has been retained since 2007.

1.33 The figures show a 7% upturn between 2008 and 2009 and indicate that the 2010 target has already been met. While cycle flows are quite variable from day to day and from site to site there has been an upward trend for the last three years. Other monitoring of cycles (such as manual counts on A and B roads) also shows an upward trend.

LTP 4: NI 198 Mode Share of Journeys to School 1.34 Table 1.16 and Figure 1.11 show the baseline, 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10 percentages of (a) primary school, (b) secondary school and (c) total school pupils travelling by car together with targets. These figures are based solely on the 2007, 2008 and 2009 School Census returns and do not include any local ‘hands-up’ survey results. We have weighted the census results to reflect the number of pupils in each type of school and in each local authority. Full details of the results by mode and district are available in GMTU Note 502 “LTP4 and NI 198 Mode of Travel to School Methodology and Indicator Values”.

1.35 For all schools, the indicator is broadly on track. However, although the number of primary school pupils travelling to school by car is decreasing and has exceeded expectations, this is not the case for trips to secondary schools where, disappointingly, car use has risen slightly since the base.

LTP 6b: Peak Traffic Flow to Other Key Centres 1.39 GMLTP2 originally reported numbers of vehicles crossing key centre cordons inbound between 07:30 and 09:30 on an average weekday based on manual counts. Additional automatic counters have now been established allowing the indicator to be rebased on ATC data. Table 1.20 presents 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10 data, based on automatic traffic counts on an average weekday between 07:00 and 10:00 (in accordance with indicator guidance) by district. Figure 1.14 illustrates the trend for the indicator.

1.40 The original GMLTP2 2010/11 target was to limit the increase in peak traffic flow to 1% from the 2002/05 baseline. This is equivalent to a 0.66% increase between 2006/07 (the new baseline) and 2010/11.

LTP 7: NI 167 Congestion 1.41 The Greater Manchester congestion indicator is the average travel rate per person mile across the 15 target routes listed in GMLTP2 Technical Annex. Table 1.21 and Figure 1.15 show the base, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2009/10 and target values for Greater Manchester. 1.42 The indicator relates to the weekday time period 0730 to 0930 and is expressed in minutes per mile travelled. 1.43 The production of the indicator value involves the combination of non-bus journey time data provided by the Department for Transport, with bus journey time and vehicle occupancy data from local surveys. The exact calculation is undertaken by the DfT. 1.44 The baseline figure was originally derived from 2004/05 ITIS journey time data combined with data from local surveys undertaken in 2005/06. DfT have now switched to using Trafficmaster rather than ITIS data for the non-bus journey times. They have had to adjust the original baseline value to ensure consistency (as far as possible) with the more recent Trafficmaster data and have re-calculated the 2006/07 value using Trafficmaster data. Hence the baseline value is different from that in the original Delivery Plan and the 2006/07 value is also different from the previously published 2006/07 value. 1.45 We have recalculated target values based on the original trajectory. 1.46 A further change is that the indicator is now given in minutes and seconds rather than decimal minutes as originally published. 1.47 The derivation of the target value and trajectory is outlined in the Greater Manchester Congestion Target Delivery Plan, which has been approved by DfT. Also included in that document are individual plans for reducing congestion on each target route. 1.48 The baseline, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10 figures have been published by the DfT in their Transport Statistics Bulletin ‘Congestion on local authority managed “A” Roads and in urban areas: 2009/10 published in November 2010.

Actual Target

LTP 8a: Air Quality (Concentration of NO2 at Worst Case Receptor Sites in Each District’s AQMA) 1.49 GMLTP2 anticipated a revision of the target based on a review of the issue following an extensive review of the EMIGMA emissions database and further Defra advice on the nature of the NOx to NO2 conversion relationship. The interim targets have been previously reported in GMLTP2. 1.50 It was decided in 2008 not to pursue this indicator because of its complexity and because of the difficulty in quantifying and isolating out road traffic effects.

LTP 8b: Local Traffic Emissions - Tonnes NOX Emitted from Road Transport on Major Roads in Each District

1.51 Table 1.22 & Figure 1.16 show an index of change for tonnes NOX emitted from road transport on major roads in each district (modelled). Indices have been reported rather than actual tonnes NOX. 1.52 The 2008 indices for all authorities are within the GM target value of 77.7 Year-on-year changes for individual authorities should be treated with some caution as short term changes in emission forecasts will be more variable at a local level. 1.53 For this indicator, ‘actual’ emission figures represent the best computer- modelled estimate. Such models are subject to continuous improvement. In order to glean a fair measure of change occurring over time (rather than simply changes due to model improvement) the model must be run for previous years in addition to the current year. Consequently, GMLTP2 targets reported as tonnes NOX are inevitably subject to change each time the model is updated. Presenting the GMLTP2 trajectory as an index will enable the

Page 33 GMTU Report 1580 Local Transport Plan

presentation of consistent targets from year to year. The 2011 target remains, as reported in GMLTP2, a 39% reduction in emissions from a 2004 baseline.

LOCAL INDICATORS LTP 9: Climate Change 1.54 Table 1.23 & Figure 1.17 show an index of change for the number of tonnes CO2 (modelled) emitted annually from road transport on local roads. 1.55 The 2008 performance index for GM is estimated to be 97.5, which is approximately 5 percent below the target value of 102.6 for the county as a whole. The indicator is broadly on track, with modelled CO2 emissions decreasing by 2.5% relative to 2004. 1.56 The 2008 indices for most authorities are within the GM target value of 102.6. The only district that exceeds the target is Wigan with an index of 103.2. The 2008 index for Wigan has fallen by 2 percent relative to 2007, however, compared to the approximate 0.6 percent year-on-year increase permitted by the target. Wigan’s value is heavily influenced by the M6. The year-on-year changes for individual authorities should be treated with some caution, however, as short term changes in emission forecasts will be more variable at a local level. 1.57 As with LTP 8b, ‘actual’ carbon emission figures represent the best computer- modelled estimate, which is subject to continuous improvement. In order to glean a fair measure of change over time, the best model at any given moment must be applied retrospectively to previous years in addition to the current year. Consequently, GMLTP2 targets reported as tonnes CO2 are subject to change each time the model is updated. Presenting the GMLTP2 trajectory as an index will enable the presentation of consistent targets from year to year. The GMLTP2 target remains, as previously reported, a limit of 4.5% in increased emissions between 2004 and 2011.

LTP 10a: Accessible Infrastructure (Buses) 1.58 Table 1.24 & Figure 1.18 show the proportion of wheelchair accessible buses. There was a sharp increase in the percentage of accessible buses due to the introduction of low-floor buses by bus companies, particularly on QBC routes between 2004/05 and 2007/08. The methodology used between 2004/05 and 2007/08 was discontinued due to problems with the accuracy of the operator fleet lists. 1.59 A new measurement based on on-street observations as part of the new punctuality and reliability monitoring system (PRMS) was begun in 2009/10 but it is not directly comparable with previous figures

LTP 10b: Accessible Infrastructure (Bus Stops) 1.60 LTP 10b refers to the percentage of accessible bus stops (minimum 160mm kerb height). At the publication of GMLTP2, a data collection system was yet to be established. A monitoring method is now in place based on accessible bus stops on QBC routes and the results are shown in Table 1.25. The target has been exceeded and the QBC programme has now closed down. With the close-down of the QBC programme GMPTE is now looking at the remaining bus stops across the county to identify a new indicator. This will be available from 2010/11 onwards.

LTP 11: Walking 1.66 Table 1.29 & Figure 1.20 show the number of trips/year/person where walking is the main mode. The ‘actual’ figures are taken from the DfT’s National Travel Survey. The figures used are two-year averages since we have been advised that single year estimates are not robust at the Greater Manchester level. 2007 data proved to be unreliable due to an under-reporting of short trips so the estimates for 2006/07 and 2007/08 are based respectively on 2006 and 2008 data only.

Also the method of monitoring bus patronage changed from using Continuous Passenger Sampling (CPS) Data to manually counting bus passengers. Manual bus surveys were conducted in March 2006, March 2009 and March 2010. These indicated a higher number of bus passengers entering the city centre than CPS data and past trends and the targets have been adjusted to reflect this. 1.69 The proportion of non-car trips has decreased slightly since 2009 but remains above GMLTP2 targets. The total number of trips has increased by 3% since the baseline (2005) and 1% since 2008.

1.19 Table 2.18 shows the average percentage changes by time period, in average traffic flows on 140 minor roads between 2008 and 2009. The percentage change in vehicle flows other than car and LGV should be treated with caution since they are based on very low flows, which are subject to greater percentage variability than higher flows.

Notes: DfT 1993-2009 National Data based on Table 1.2b Road Statistics 2009, Traffic, Speeds and Congestion. The indices in this table differ from traffic flow indices quoted elsewhere due to: 1. Different measurement methods i.e. local traffic flow indices are derived from a sample of 12- hour average weekday counts whereas local vehicle kilometre estimates are based on 24-hour AADT estimates on all links. 2. Increases in road length due to road building, which affects motorways in particular.

3 KEY CENTRE MONITORING

GMTU Report 1580 Key Centre Monitoring

Introduction to Key Centre Monitoring 3.1 Traffic and rail counts were conducted on a cordon around each of the 10 key centres in Greater Manchester in 1997. Subsequently, until April 2008, three or four centres have been surveyed annually with each centre being surveyed on a three yearly cycle to monitor progress towards key objectives in the Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan (GMLTP) and this continued for GMLTP2. 3.2 Stockport MBC allocated funds from a performance monitoring programme that, together with SEMMMS and LTP funding, allowed annual monitoring of Stockport key centre each Autumn since 2004. Similarly, Manchester was surveyed in March 2006 as part of Manchester City Council’s second local performance service agreement (LPSA2). 3.3 It was decided that from April 2008 each key centre would be surveyed annually and that manual bus surveys would be conducted. 3.4 Previously, bus patronage was measured using CPS data. This data was not designed to give an accurate picture of bus passenger at a local level but has been the only data available. Trend analysis in this report still uses CPS data and a three-year rolling average but from April 2008, trends will be based on annual manual surveys. 3.5 Tables providing a summary of road traffic and modal share trends are presented here. Further details of the surveys conducted for each centre are shown in the Transport Statistics reports for the relevant districts. 3.6 The exact locations of the cordons and the extent of the areas they encompass have an influence on both the total volume of traffic and the relative proportions of each mode of travel. Therefore comparisons between centres should be treated with caution. 3.7 For each key centre, more detailed information and a map showing the location of the cordon are given in the latest individual GMTU Transport Statistics report for the relevant district.

Bolton Key Centre 3.8 Table 3.1 presents traffic entering Bolton key centre in 1997, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2010 together with indices of change between 1997 and 2010. Table 3.2 shows modal share of car and public transport trips crossing the cordon for the same years. Table 3.3 shows modal share of car and non-car (public transport, walk and cycle) trips since 2001. 3.9 Car trips were estimated using the vehicle count in table 3.1 multiplied by an average car occupancy estimated from a survey of the busiest sites on the cordon. Bus patronage is derived from counts of passengers crossing the cordon. Rail patronage is a count of people leaving Bolton rail station. Walk and pedal cycle trips are counts of people entering the key centre both on and off-road.

Metrolink patronage is estimated from boarding and alighting counts at stations on the Bury, Altrincham and Eccles lines in the November preceding the survey year. Walk and pedal cycle trips are counts of people entering the key centre both on and off-road.

3.14 The Manchester and Salford Inner Relief Route was completed in 2002 and this, together with traffic management changes within the cordon, has contributed to the reduction in road traffic entering the key centre.

Salford Key Centre - Eccles 3.20 Table 3.16 gives the total traffic crossing the Eccles key centre cordon in 1997, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2010 together with indices of change between 1997 and 2010. Table 3.17 shows modal share of car and public transport trips crossing the cordon for the same years. Table 3.18 shows modal share of car and non-car (public transport, walk and cycle) trips since 2001. 3.21 Car trips were estimated using the vehicle count in table 3.16 multiplied by an average car occupancy estimated from a survey of the busiest sites on the cordon. Bus patronage is derived from counts of passengers crossing the cordon. Rail patronage is a count of people leaving Eccles rail station. Metrolink patronage is a count of people leaving Eccles Metrolink station. Walk and pedal cycle trips are counts of people entering the key centre both on and off-road.

3.22 The completion of the Eccles Bypass in November 2000 has contributed to the reduction in traffic crossing the cordon.

Tameside Key Centre – Ashton-under-Lyne 3.25 Table 3.22 gives the total traffic crossing the Ashton key centre cordon in 1997, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2009 together with indices of change between 1997 and 2009. Table 3.23 shows modal share of car and public transport trips crossing the cordon for the same years. Table 3.24 shows modal share of car and non-car (pt, walk and cycle) trips since 2001. 3.26 Car trips were estimated using the vehicle count in table 3.22 multiplied by an average car occupancy estimated from surveys on the busiest sites on the cordon. Bus patronage is derived from counts of passengers crossing the cordon. Rail patronage is a count of people leaving Ashton rail station. Walk and pedal cycle trips are counts of people entering the key centre both on and off-road.

3.27 Results differ from those published prior to 2007, as traffic entering the Old Street area is no longer considered to be entering the key centre for the purposes of monitoring the indicator LTP6.

Wigan Key Centre 3.31 Table 3.28 gives the total traffic crossing the Wigan key centre cordon in 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2010 with indices of change between 1997 and 2010. Table 3.29 shows modal share of car and public transport trips crossing the cordon for the same years. Table 3.30 shows modal share of car and non-car (public transport, walk and cycle) trips since 2003. 3.32 Car trips were estimated using the vehicle count in table 3.28 multiplied by an average car occupancy estimated from a survey of the busiest sites on the cordon. Bus patronage is derived from counts of passengers crossing the cordon. Rail patronage is a count of people leaving Wigan Wallgate and North Western stations. Walk and pedal cycle trips are counts of people entering the key centre both on and off-road.

Walking 4.5 Levels of walking are monitored in several ways for the Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan Walking Strategy. The Local Transport Plan Indicator is based on National Travel Survey data and can be found in the Local Transport Plan section. 4.6 Manual counts of pedestrian flows crossing a cordon of sites around each of the ten Key Centres began in 2001 to complement the surveys of travel by other modes of transport (see paragraph 3.1). The counts now form an integral part of the Key Centre Monitoring programme and are undertaken annually. A summary of the pedestrian data collected in the morning and off- peak periods is shown in Tables 4.2 and 4.3.

Cycle Flows on Major Roads 4.8 12-hour 2-way cycle flows on major road links in 2009 are presented in individual District reports. 4.9 By using the cycle flow on each link it has been possible to calculate an average cycle flow per link for each District. These averages, and the highest link flows in each District, are given in Table 4.6. 4.10 Since 2001, pedal cycle factors have been developed from automatic cycle counts to factor 12-hour 2-way cycle flows counted manually to 24-hour average daily flows. These have been combined with the length of each road link to give an estimate of pedal cycle kilometres travelled in a year. Table 4.7 and Figure 4.2 show the trend in pedal cycle kilometres travelled on A and B roads combined since 2001.

Automatic Cycle Counts 4.11 GMTU have operated Automatic Cycle Counters (ACC) at a variety of on-road and off-road locations throughout Greater Manchester since 2001. Data from these are used to monitor the LTP, local strategies and transport schemes. In 2009 there were 48 operational sites suitable for producing profiles. 4.12 These sites have been divided into those with a higher weekday than Saturday or Sunday flow (35 commuting sites) and a higher or the same Saturday or Sunday flow as the weekday flow (13 leisure sites). The two sets of sites have different hourly, daily and monthly profiles and these can be seen in Tables 4.8 to 4.13 and Figures 4.3 to 4.5. 4.13 Details of individual sites and cycle flows can be found in the respective Transport Statistics Reports for districts.

Cycle Training in Schools 4.15 Table 4.15 shows the number of year 6 pupils in 2009/10 that received ‘on- road’ cycle training by district and the total number of year 6 pupils. This allows the proportion of Year 6 pupils in 2009/10 who have had ‘on-road’ cycle training to be calculated and this is also shown. It is assumed that all pupils who have had ‘on-road' cycle training have also received ‘off-road’ cycle training.

RAIL PATRONAGE Rail Passenger Counts 5.1 GMTU undertook counts of boarding and alighting rail passengers both inbound towards and outbound from Manchester City Centre in Autumn 2009 at a sample of stations throughout the county. 5.2 A total of 62 railway stations were surveyed. The stations were generally selected to give the highest percentage of travellers on each corridor for the fewest stations counted. The Oldham loop line was closed in October 2009 because of construction work on the Metrolink extension, therefore no surveys could be undertaken at those stations. 5.3 A summary of the results of all rail passenger counts undertaken in 2009 is given in Table 5.1 and a diagram of the rail network in Greater Manchester is given in Figure 5.1. This diagram also shows the most recent count of peak period inbound boarders at each station.

Notes: Figures for 1991 are based on full counts at every station in each corridor. 1999 to 2009 figures are generally estimates based on all available station counts in each year. However, almost all stations in the GMPTE area have been counted in the last four years, the Marple/Glossop, Stockport, Styal and Rochdale lines in 2008, the Irlam line in 2007 and the Wigan/Bolton line in 2006. All stations on the Ashton line have been counted every year since 2005. Manchester Airport rail station opened in 1993. The Oldham Loop was closed when surveys where conducted in 2009 and will re-open as a Metrolink line in the future. Consequently Grand Totals have been provided including and excluding the Rochdale/Oldham corridor Note on Industrial Action: There was sustained industrial action in 2002 by employees of First North Western and Arriva. While an attempt was made to avoid actual strike days the work to rule by First North Western staff in particular may have had an effect on passenger numbers.

The Altrincham Line 5.7 The Altrincham rail line, operated by British Rail, closed in December 1991 and reopened on 15 June 1992 as Metrolink. 5.8 Counts of passengers boarding Manchester bound trams in 1992 and 1999 to 2009 are given in Tables 5.11 and 5.12. Patronage figures for the Altrincham rail line were last reported in GMTU Report 641 ‘Transport Statistics Greater Manchester 1999’. 5.9 Figures 5.5 and 5.6 show trends in peak and off-peak Manchester bound Metrolink patronage at each station. On the day of the 2007 counts, the Altrincham line was affected by a problem with a crossing barrier at Navigation Road, and four Altrincham bound trams turned at Timperley. The line was closed from 2 July until 28 August 2007 for track upgrade work.

The Bury Line 5.10 The former Bury to Manchester rail line closed in August 1991 and reopened on 6 April 1992 as Metrolink. 5.11 Counts of peak period passengers boarding Manchester bound trams in 1992 and 1999 to 2009 are given in Tables 5.13 and 5.14. Figures 5.7 and 5.8 show trends in Manchester bound peak and off-peak patronage at each station. Patronage figures for the Bury rail line, before its conversion to Metrolink, can be found in GMTU Report 641 ‘Transport Statistics Greater Manchester 1999’. Bury Metrolink line was closed for major track upgrade work from 29 May until 13 September in 2007 for major track upgrade work. On the day of the 2009 survey there was minor disruption to the service between Bury and Whitefield early in the morning.

The Eccles Line 5.12 The Metrolink extension to Salford Quays and Eccles opened in two stages. The first section to Broadway opened on 6 December 1999. The second section from Broadway to Eccles opened on 21 July 2000. 5.13 The Eccles line joins the Altrincham line at Cornbrook, which up until September 2005 was an interchange station only for passengers transferring between the two lines and had no pedestrian access. 5.14 Whereas the Bury and Altrincham lines have their main passenger flows to the regional centre in the morning peak, this is not true of the Eccles line, which serves Salford Quays. The following tables are therefore presented in a different format to the tabulations for the other Metrolink lines so that Manchester bound boarders and Eccles bound alighters can be identified. 5.15 Counts of peak period passengers boarding Manchester bound and alighting Eccles bound trams are given in Tables 5.15 and 5.16 for 2000 to 2009. Figures 5.9 and 5.10 show the corresponding trends in peak patronage at each station. Counts of off-peak passengers boarding Manchester bound and alighting Eccles bound trams are given in Tables 5.17 and 5.18 for 2000 to 2009.

Public Transport Fares 6.2 Tables 6.3 and 6.4 and Figure 6.2 show indices of peak and off-peak public transport fares relative to 1991 for an average journey by bus, Metrolink and rail. All fares have been adjusted for inflation to 1991 prices. Average journey lengths and fares were provided by GMPTE. As Metrolink did not begin operation until 1992, the quoted 1991 fare is the equivalent rail fare. 6.3 The average bus fare has been calculated by dividing the annual bus passenger revenue by the annual number of bus passenger journeys. 6.4 As the average Metrolink journey is 4.5 miles the fare from Heaton Park to Manchester City Centre has been used as the representative fare. For train, the fare from Marple to Manchester City Centre was taken as typical, as this journey has the average journey length of 9.5 miles. 6.5 Return fares have been used to calculate the price indices for rail and Metrolink because this is the type of ticket most commonly purchased. In contrast, the average bus fare is for a single journey and includes concessionary fares.

Figures shown for local authority car parks include partnerships with private operators, e.g. NCP Manchester. Figures include free off-street parking for disabled badge holders, but do not include car parks with less than 10 spaces, other free parking facilities, customer only parking or fly parking. 6.7 Tables 6.6 and 6.7 and Figures 6.3 and 6.4 show the total number of spaces available and average price for three different time periods – 2 hours, 4 hours and 7 hours. Prices are actual prices in survey year – they have not been adjusted for inflation.

In 2004 additional supplementary surveys were introduced to improve the coverage of the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings. Figures are presented both excluding and including the additional surveys for comparison purposes. Further information is available at http://www.statistics.gov.uk/StatBase/Product.asp?vlnk=13101 2. In 2006 a small number of methodological changes were introduced to improve the quality of the survey. These include changes to the sample design itself, as well as the introduction of an automatic occupation coding tool. Figures are presented both excluding and including these changes for comparision purposes. 3. Data for the West Midlands (1999-2006) and for all areas in 2008 have been revised from previous reports. Note: Earnings based on full time employees on adult rates whose pay for the survey pay period was unaffected by absence.

Estimates to 2006 are based on ONS mid-year population estimates and projected rates of household formation from trends in Census and Labour Force Survey data. Other data sources, such as the Labour Force Survey, provide direct sample survey estimates of the number of households in each year and therefore may differ from the estimates shown here. Estimates for 2001 to 2004 are subject to small changes from the 2004-based estimates due to changes in the household estimates and projections model which now undertakes calculations on unrounded figures. 2. All projections are 2006-based. The 2006-based household projections are linked to the Office for National Statistics 2006-based Population Projections, and are not an assessment of housing need or do not take account of future policies. They are an indication of the likely increase in households given the continuation of recent demographic trends 3. Sub regional household projections are less robust than those at the regional level, particularly for those areas with relatively small numbers of households. This should be taken into account in using the figures. Due to rounding, districts may not sum to regional totals. 4. The sub regional household projections are not 'National Statistics.

APPENDIX 1 TRAFFIC COUNT FACTORS

GMTU Report 1580 Traffic Count Factors

Introduction The GMTU Traffic Counts System (COUNTS) incorporates factors which are applied to single day counts to produce estimates of annual average flows. Three types of factor are involved. These are:

(i) Split-shift to 12-hour factors which are used to estimate single day 12-hour vehicle-specific flows from shorter period counts. These factors are calculated from all available 12-hour continuous counts held on the COUNTS system;

(ii) Factors to estimate average 12, 16, 18 and 24-hour flows from 12-hour counts. These are based on all available data from continuous Automatic Traffic Counting (ATC) sites throughout the county;

(iii) Year to year factors.

A new year to year factor is added each year and factors (i) and (ii) have been updated periodically as new data has become available. This appendix presents factors that have been produced from 2009 data (split shift and12-hour to longer period). These are applied to counts in 2010.

Factors currently applied to earlier counts are available on request.

a GMTU Report 1580 Traffic Count Factors

Traffic Count Factors A. Split Shift to 12-Hour

The factors and their associated standard deviations were derived from 12 hour manual classified counts undertaken at 42 motorway, 224 A road and 380 B, C or U road sites throughout the county during 2009 (fewer sites were used for am peak factors as this time period required 15 or 30 minute interval counts only).

12-Hour Flow = AM Peak 2-Hour Count x A1 Estimate + Off-Peak 2-Hour Count x A2 or A3 + PM Peak 2-Hour Count x A4

Factors to estimate 12-hour motor vehicle counts to average 12, 16, 18 and 24-hour motor vehicle flows and the standard deviations of the estimates were derived from 2009 Automatic Traffic Count (ATC) data at 29 two-way motorway and 46-two way non-motorway sites throughout the county.

B. 12-Hour to 12-Hour Annual Average Weekday (AAWT)

12-Hour Annual Average 12-Hour Flow Weekday Estimate = weekday (W) x B (W,M) month (M)

C. 12-Hour to 16-Hour Annual Average Weekday (AAWT)

16-Hour Annual Average 12-Hour Flow Weekday Estimate = weekday (W) x C (W,M) month (M)

D. 12-Hour to 18-Hour Annual Average Weekday (AAWT)

18-Hour Annual Average 12-Hour Flow Weekday Estimate = weekday (W) x D (W,M) month (M)

E. 12-Hour to 24-Hour Annual Average Weekday Traffic (AAWT)

24-Hour Annual Average 12-Hour Flow Weekday Estimate = weekday (W) x E (W,M) month (M)

F. 12-Hour to 24-Hour Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT)

24-Hour Annual Average 12-Hour Flow Day Estimate = weekday (W) x F (W,M) month (M)

G. Year to Year Factors

Indices of motor vehicle traffic growth since 1979 are provided to allow counts to be factored to a common base.
