Whether by getting staff to work, suppliers to business, or goods to market, an efficient transport network is essential for driving economic growth and is, therefore, key to our long-term prosperity as well as our everyday quality of life. In all our work we look to put the customer at the heart of our thinking. 1.4 Our most ambitious project is the delivery of a new high speed railway network that has the potential to transform Britain’s economic geography as profoundly as the coming of the original railways. In 2011–12 the Department successfully carried out the preparation needed to start work on High Speed 2 (HS2) and the Secretary of State announced the preferred route for the London to Birmingham phase as the first step towards a national high speed rail network. 1.5 Investing in our existing railway network is central to supporting economic growth. We will secure investments where they matter most, delivering growth for the nation and aiming to achieve the best-connected cities in the world. This year the Government published its rail Command Paper Reforming our Railways: Putting the Customer First. This set out the Government’s vision for the railways, alongside the policies that are needed to realise that 6 Our aims and objectives vision. Making life better for customers – both passengers and freight users – is at the heart of our approach. We must also make the railways financially sustainable in the longer term, so they can contribute to the country’s economic growth and environmental goals. 1.6 We are making big changes at the local level too, because we know how crucial good transport is to improving the quality of life in our communities. In February 2012 we announced £15 million new funding for sustainable travel projects across the country to promote growth and cut carbon emissions. This funding, in addition to the £560 million Local Sustainable Transport Fund announced in January 2011, was heavily geared towards cycling, and encouraged greater use of environmentally friendly transport. In March 2012 we published A Green Light for Better Buses, which set out our programme of action to achieve a ‘better bus’, including reforming the way in which we pay the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG). 1.7 We want our roads to become safer, less congested and less polluted. We have already taken steps to ensure the necessary infrastructure is in place to support the adoption of low-emission transport and we will continue to invest in smart and sustainable transport that harnesses technology and innovation to adapt to the future. 1.8 The Civil Aviation Bill, which entered Parliament in January 2012, sets out the Government’s plans for modernising key elements of the regulatory framework for civil aviation in the United Kingdom. We want to secure a sustainable future for aviation, which will ensure that the UK maintains its hub connectivity, is well placed to compete internationally and that the passenger interest is firmly at the heart of the new regulatory system in order to create the right incentives for investment in the improvements that customers want. 1.9 This report summarises the Department’s progress in implementing this challenging agenda during 2011–12. It comprises the following sections: Part 1: ●● Chapter 2 reviews the Department’s performance over the year, setting out progress against the Structural Reform Plan and the DfT Business Plan indicators, and highlighting the Department’s key achievements. ●● Chapter 3 outlines the way the Department is organised and how it interacts with its agencies and non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs). ●● Chapter 4 covers progress on Better Regulation, performance in responding to correspondence from the public, and complaints to the Parliamentary Ombudsman. ●● Chapter 5 includes details on pay, recruitment practice, talent development, health and safety and publicity, advertising and sponsorship. ●● Chapter 6 sets out the Department’s activities in relation to climate change, sustainable development and rural proofing. ●● Chapter 7 comprises core tables which look at the Department’s spending. Part 2: ●● Part 2 lays out the Departmental Accounts for the 2011–12 financial year, which includes the Department’s Governance Statement. 7 Annual Report and Accounts 2011–12 2: Measurement of performance and progress 2.1 This chapter reviews DfT’s performance and progress during the period 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012. More detailed information on the performance of DfT’s agencies and NDPBs is set out in the individual annual reports of each organisation. Key achievements 2.2 During 2011–12 a number of significant steps have been taken to deliver on the transport elements of the Coalition’s programme for Government. Key achievements include: Rail: ●● following one of the largest consultations conducted by the Department, taking the decision to go ahead with HS2 and publishing the proposed route from London to the West Midlands; ●● publishing the McNulty Value for Money study on the UK railway, and developing the Government’s strategy to deliver significant efficiency savings – set out in the Government’s Command Paper Reforming our Railways: Putting the Customer First; ●● making significant progress on the programme of rail franchise re-letting, including award of the Greater Anglia short franchise, and issue of the Invitation to Tender for the West Coast franchise; and ●● announcing the Thameslink rolling stock preferred bidder. Local Transport: ●● giving the go-ahead to, and contributing funding for, 42 major local transport schemes, plus announcing the first round of successful Local Sustainable Transport Fund schemes (39 small projects); and ●● setting out the way forward for the BSOG and responding to the Competition Commission report on the bus market.

  • Departmental Overview the Performance of the Department For
    DEPARTMENTAL OVERVIEW The performance of the Department for Transport 2012-13 JANUARY 2014 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Amyas Morse, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some 860 staff. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to audited savings of almost £1.2 billion in 2012. Contents Introduction Aim and scope of this briefing 4 Part One About the Department 5 Part Two Recent NAO work on the Department 22 Part Three Briefing on the reform of the motoring agencies 30 Appendix One The Department for Transport Group at 1 April 2013 (for accounting purposes) 38 Appendix Two Results of the Civil Service People Survey 2012 40 Appendix Three Publications by the NAO on the Department since August 2012 42 Appendix Four Cross-government reports of relevance to the Department published since August 2012 43 Links to external websites were valid at the time of publication of this report.
