STATEMENTS RECEIVED – WECA AUDIT COMMITTEE – 16 OCTOBER 2020 1. Dick Daniel
STATEMENTS RECEIVED – WECA AUDIT COMMITTEE – 16 OCTOBER 2020 1. Dick Daniel – Trams/light rail (Pages 1-13) 2. Dave Redgewell – Transport Issues (Pages 14-15) 3. Christina Biggs – Rail and Transport Issues (Pages 16-18) 4. Andy O’Brien - WECA’s transport thinking and funding strategies (Pages 19-167) STATEMENT 1 – DICK DANIEL I am submitting the BATA reasons for instead investing in a tram / light-rail network for Bristol, Bath and the region. A proposal which will actually get people to switch from cars to trams, as I say in the submission, a switch that has never been demonstrated by buses, we are not against buses, we want buses, we want trams to be the backbone feed and linked to a comprehensive network of bus routes. I have also attached a chart showing the rise in passages numbers of the Manchester tram Metrolink, which has increased the numbers traveling by tram almost every year and now stands at 44.3 million journeys in the 2019/20 financial year. Also a short video of trams in the historic centre of Seville. A more technical document on the 'Technical, sociological and economic reasons why trams are an essential backbone to a bus based transport system’. Best regards Dick Dick Daniel BATA Board Member https://bathtrams.uk 1 BATH AREA TRAMS ASSOCIATION WECA 16th October 2020 The UK now has a growing list of cities and city-regions that has discovered that investing in trams / light-rail pays off. These are following the lead of cities around Europe and the world, including the USA, regions that are at the forefront of taking action on climate change, healthy active citizens and are highly economically productive. -
