Foreword

Transport is an essential part of everyday life - it enables us to visit family and friends, commute to work, access healthcare, education, shopping and leisure activities, and it supports a healthy and vibrant economy. Good transport connections are integral to our plans for economic growth and protecting our environment to ensure a sustainable future for all.

We are in challenging times. The necessary cuts to public spending mean that we have seen an overall reduction in the level of funding available to deliver the Local Transport Plan. We will not be able to fund all desirable activities and diﬃcult decisions will have to be taken about where to focus limited resources. Despite this, we remain positive and have set out ambitious plans for local transport provision and highway maintenance, including: t &OBCMJOHFDPOPNJDHSPXUIXJUIPVUDBVTJOHDPOHFTUJPO t )FMQJOHCVTJOFTTFTBDDFTTTVQQMJFST NBSLFUTBOEBXPSLGPSDF t 1SPWJEJOHPQQPSUVOJUJFTGPSSFTJEFOUTBOEWJTJUPSTUPBDDFTTKPCT USBJOJOHBOE education. t .BJOUBJOJOHUIFDVSSFOUDPOEJUJPOPGUIFIJHIXBZOFUXPSLBOEJUTJOGSBTUSVDUVSF t ,FFQJOHUIFIJHIXBZTBGFBOETFSWJDFBCMFXIJMTUBDIJFWJOHWBMVFGPSNPOFZ t 3FEVDJOHTPDJBMFYDMVTJPOGBDFECZSFTJEFOUT t *NQSPWJOHPOPVSFYDFMMFOUSPBETBGFUZSFDPSE t 5BDLMJOHDSJNF GFBSPGDSJNFBOEBOUJTPDJBMCFIBWJPVSPOUIFUSBOTQPSUOFUXPSL t 3FTQPOEJOHUPDVSSFOUBOEGVUVSFDMJNBUJDDPOEJUJPOT t &ODPVSBHJOHBOEQSPWJEJOHGPSBDUJWFUSBWFM t .JOJNJTJOHUIFOFHBUJWFJNQBDUTPGUSBOTQPSUPOUIFFOWJSPONFOU t &OIBODJOHUIFFOWJSPONFOUUISPVHIUIFNBOBHFNFOUBOENBJOUFOBODFPGUIF highway network. 8FXJMMNBYJNJTFUIFCFOFmUPGUIFJOWFTUNFOUTXFNBLFBOEHFOFSBUFUIFCFTU PVUDPNFTGPSSFTJEFOUTBOECVTJOFTT8FXJMMHFUNPSFGSPNPVSFYJTUJOHIJHIXBZ assets, seek opportunities for partnership working and use innovative delivery UFDIOJRVFTBOEmOBODJOHNPEFMT

Introduction

This is the Strategy Plan for Staﬀordshire’s third Local Developing the LTP Transport Plan (LTP). It sets out the County Council’s The diagram on the next page sets out the process we proposals for transport provision in the county, adopted in developing the LTP. It shows how we got including walking, cycling, public transport, car based from our aspirations for transport provision to activities travel and freight, together with the management and entering the funding programme. Each step is described maintenance of local roads and footways1. in more detail in Appendix B. Because transport is not an end in itself but rather a way of providing access for people, goods and services, it can impact upon a number of wider issues including the economy, community safety, the environment and health and quality of life. The Strategy Plan has been structured to reﬂect transport’s contribution towards these wider issues, and includes highway maintenance, which impacts on all of them.

In recognition of the fact that Staffordshire has a diverse mix of communities, each with their own problems and opportunities, District Integrated Transport Strategies will be developed to provide a local context for the LTP (Appendix A). Joint statements will also be produced with three neighbouring transport authorities - Stoke- on-Trent City Council, Derbyshire County Council and Centro (the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority) - as their areas have considerable influence on Staffordshire’s travel patterns and vice versa. The statements will highlight issues of common interest and areas of joint working.

Alongside this Plan, we have also published an Implementation Plan. It describes how the necessary cuts to public sector spending have resulted in reductions to both local authority and local transport funding. This means that we will not be able to fund all desirable activities and decisions will need to be taken about where to focus limited resources and trade-oﬀs will have to be made. We may no longer continue to deliver improvements in all areas of local transport provision and maintaining some service levels may be diﬃcult.

Car ownership in Staffordshire stands at 81% of households - well above the national average at 73% (2001 Census), which is probably due to the rural nature of the county and the fact that many residents feel that having a car is a necessity. 10 The State of Staffordshire 2009, Staffordshire Observatory (October 2009). 11 In July 2010 the Secretary of State announced the revocation of Regional Spatial Strategies (RSS), although this decision was subject to a successful High Court Challenge in November 2010 and the RSS was reinstated. The status of the RSS is subject to change following the publication of the Localism Bill in December 2010.

Box 3.4: Secure Stations Scheme Box 3.5: Lichfield Awarded Coach Friendly City Three rail stations - Lichfield City, Lichfield Trent Award Valley and Stafford - are part of the Secure Stations Lichfield is the latest City to be awarded a Coach Scheme. The Scheme provides an incentive to Friendly City Award in recognition of the efforts the station operators to improve security and provide local authority has made to attract and cater for reassurance to passengers and staff. It establishes coach visitors. The City is now one of only two in the standards of good practice and accredits individual West Midlands to have achieved coach friendly status stations which have worked with the British Transport - the other being Stratford-Upon-Avon. Lichfield has Police and other local partners to implement security long been a favourite destination for group travel. measures such as changing the physical design of Good signage, toilets, and adequate coach parking stations through to management practices. all play a part in growing visitor numbers.

Coach travel provides a convenient, economical and efficient means of moving groups of people over long distances. In Staffordshire, it is provided on a fully commercial basis by National Express who in 2009 picked up in excess of 10,000 passengers from seven pick-up/drop-off locations within the county. Long distance coach services play an important role in providing a more sustainable and in some instances, a more convenient alternative to the car for long distance journeys.

Coach-based tourism plays a vital part in the tourism Photo: courtesy of Visit Lichfield www.visitlichfield.co.uk industry. In Staffordshire, the coach industry primarily Staffordshire’s navigable inland waters primarily consist consists of a large number of small firms offering of the canal network. The county has over 200km of excursions and holidays. Common destinations within canal and canal towpath, which are important resources the county that are used by coach parties include Alton for recreation, tourism and commuting. They provide Towers, Drayton Manor Park, Lichfield (see Box 3.5), safe off-road transport and leisure links between and the Peak District National Park, The National Memorial within urban and rural areas, as well as running close by Arboretum and Trentham Gardens. some tourist attractions such as Drayton Manor Park and The National Brewery Centre in Burton upon Trent.

Boating holidays are increasingly popular, with many holidaymakers choosing Staﬀordshire as their base, exploring the waterways of the Midlands. A popular choice is the ‘ring’ formed by the Trent and Mersey, the Birmingham and Fazeley, the Coventry, the Shropshire Union and the Staﬀordshire and Worcester canals.

Most of the county is within a 2-hour road journey of ﬁve major airports - Birmingham (see Box 3.6), Manchester, East Midlands, Liverpool John Lennon and Luton8. We recognise the role of regional airports in providing national and international transport links from and to Staﬀordshire. We also acknowledge that in the north of the county there are calls for better public transport links to Manchester Airport.

1 These figures are simplified. It is recognised that whilst someone may live within walking distance of an hourly or better bus services, this does not necessarily mean that they can use that service. Individual mobility, perceptions of personal safety and affordability all play a part in whether a bus service is accessible. 2 The National Highways and Transport Public Satisfaction Survey (2010). 3 Part 5 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA), as amended by the Disability Discrimination Act 2005. 4 www.plusbus.info/ 5 53% of residents are satisfied with them, placing Staffordshire last when compared to its 10 ‘nearest neighbours’. The National Highways and Transport Public Satisfaction Survey (2009). 6 www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/regional/buses/concessionary/ 7 Only 19 rail stations have rail services. Barlaston, Wedgwood and Norton Bridge have bus replacement services. 8 The starting point is Stafford and timings have been from the AA Route Planner (May 2010). The five international airports are Birmingham (50 minutes), Manchester (1 hour 5 minutes), East Midlands (1 hour 5 minutes), Liverpool John Lennon (1 hour 18 minutes), and Luton (2 hours). 9 The National Highways and Transport Public Satisfaction Survey (2010).

1 Obesity is when an adult is carrying too much body fat for their height and sex. A person is considered obese if they have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater. A child is obese if their BMI is above the 95th centile of the reference curve for their age and sex according to the UK BMI centile classification (Cole TJ, Freeman JV, Preece MA. Body mass index reference curves for the UK, 1990. Arch Dis Child 1995; 73: 25–29). A child’s height (in metres), weight (in kilograms), date of birth and sex are needed to calculate their BMI. 2 The recent White Paper, Healthy Lives Healthy People (November 2010) will impact upon the role of local authorities. The Paper stated that directors of Public Health will be employed by local authorities and will be ambassadors of health issues for local communities. In practice, this means that they will lead discussions about how ring- fenced money is spent to improve health. This will include influencing investment decisions right across the local authority with the goal of enhancing health and well-being. 3 The ability of Staffordshire’s population to access food and a healthy diet was investigated in some depth in a study which we conducted in partnership with the National Consumer Council in 2005. Findings of the study are published in ‘Putting Food Access on the Radar: How to Target and Prioritise Communities at Risk’. (National Consumer Council). 4 Inadequate public transport is by far the most frequently mentioned transport problem identified by people who have difficulty getting to healthcare facilities such as GP surgeries and hospitals. 5 The Children’s and Young People’s Plan for Staffordshire highlights a significant need for young people to access high quality leisure, cultural and sport experiences. 6 Feeling the Difference Survey, April 2009 and April 2010, Staffordshire Police.

Glossary

Access Access is the degree to which a destination can be reached.

Accessibility Accessibility is the degree to which key services and employment can be reached by everyone, including those with disabilities or those without access to a private motor vehicle. Adaptation The process or outcome of a process that leads to reduction in harm or risk, or a realisation of beneﬁts associated with climate variability and climate change.

Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) Local planning authorities review and assess local air quality levels with reference to seven health-threatening air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. Where these pollutants exceed maximum recommended levels, the respective local planning authority is required to declare an AQMA.

Air Quality Management Plan An action plan that sets out proposals to try and improve air quality in an AQMA.

Ancient Hedgerows Species-rich hedgerows are often those that pre-date the Enclosure Period (1720 to 1840). Such hedges tend to be more diverse either because they remain after ancient woodland clearance or have had a long time to allow new species to colonise.

Ancient Woodland Ancient woodland is a term generally used to refer speciﬁcally to woodland dating back to at least 1600. Before this date the planting of new woodland was uncommon, so that a wood present in 1600 was likely to have developed naturally. These woodlands are of high biological diversity, supporting species not found elsewhere and are often of historical interest. Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) An AONB is an area of countryside considered to have signiﬁcant landscape value in England, Wales or Northern Ireland that has been specially designated by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England) on behalf of the UK Government.

Aspiration The ultimate and desired levels of performance. They are not always achievable but reﬂect the ambitions of the individual, team, service or authority.

97 Staﬀordshire Local Transport Plan 2011

Benchmark A parameter of data, process or function used for comparison.

Best Value Ensuring that services are responsive to the needs of citizens, not the convenience of service providers. Securing continuous improvement having regard to a combination of economy, eﬃciency and eﬀectiveness.

Bikeability Bikeability is one of Cycling England’s ﬂagship schemes, intended to rescue a ‘lost generation’ of children who would otherwise miss out on the opportunity to learn to cycle safely and responsibly. Launched in March 2007, it takes learners through three diﬀerent levels, awarding development at each stage of the training process.

Biodiversity Is a term used to describe the variety of living things on the earth and their genetic variety, from mammals to insects, trees to wildflowers and the habitats they live in. The earth’s biodiversity provides us with a wide range of benefits such as food, materials for construction, medicines and protection against adverse weather. It regulates and stabilises ecosystem processes and contributes to quality of life and physical and mental heath. C Challenge Challenges complement the authority’s wider corporate agenda and have regard to the trends and drivers that will shape the future of Staffordshire.

Civil Parking Enforcement Describes the situation where a local Council (rather than the police) has been given the authority to tackle motorists who park in contravention of restrictions. The restrictions are in place to ensure good traﬃc management and include on-street parking restrictions and loading and waiting restrictions.

Climate In a narrow sense, it is deﬁned as the average weather or more rigorously, as its statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of surface variables such as temperature, precipitation and wind over a period of time. Climate in a wider sense is the state, including a statistical description, of the climate system (IPCC, 2007).

Climate Change A change in the state of the climate that can be identiﬁed (e.g. by using statistical tests) by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer. Climate change may be due to natural processes or to persistent human induced changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in land use.

Congestion Congestion is the temporary impairment of connectivity during periods of high demand or when capacity is temporarily reduced for example, by an incident.

Connectivity Connectivity relates to the quality of the transport network in providing access between places that people want to travel to, measured by travel times and journey reliability. Good connectivity is vital to support current and future economic growth and can help to provide wider economic beneﬁts to businesses. (i.e. how the network connects people to places).

Contextual Information Information on factors outside the organisation’s control or inﬂuence which help put its performance into perspective.

Crowded Places A crowded place is a location or environment to which members of the public have access that may be considered potentially liable to terrorist attack by virtue of its crowd density. Crowded places include airports, rail and bus stations, and pedestrianised areas. In each case, a crowded place will not necessarily be crowded at all times.

Cumulative Impact Combined eﬀect of more than one objective, policy or measure.

Deprivation Refers to problems caused by a general lack of resources and opportunities — not just money, which is often measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivation. The Index of Multiple Deprivation takes a number of factors covering a range of health, economic, social and housing issues and combines them into a single deprivation score for each small area in England. This allows areas to be ranked according to their level of deprivation.

Detrunking The process of transferring a road from the control of the Secretary of State to a local authority.

Disability Is a lack of ability relative to a person or group. Disability may involve physical impairment such as sensory impairment, cognitive or intellectual impairment, mental disorder or various types of chronic disease.

Environmental Impact Assessment The identiﬁcation, prediction and evaluation of the impact that a proposed development may have on the environment so that either strict regulations can be laid down governing its construction or the project can be rejected.

Equality Impact Assessment An Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) is a tool for identifying whether an organisation’s policies, functions or activities have the potential to negatively or conversely positively impact on a particular group(s) within the population. This group may be deﬁned on the basis of its gender, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, disability, age, where a person lives, etc. F

Fatal Collision A collision involving human injury or death within 30 days of the incident.

First Year Rate of Return Local safety schemes are normally reported by First Year Rate of Return (FYRR). The basic equation used is: FYRR (%) = 100x(annual monetary safety saving/scheme cost) A scheme that costs £100,000 and delivers £100,000 of monetarised casualty savings in the ﬁrst year alone would have a 100% FYRR.

Growth Point Growth Points are communities that are pursuing large-scale, sustainable housing growth through a partnership between local organisations and central government.

Gullies Gullies are usually connected by pipe work to a carrier drain which carries the water to an outfall or soak away where the water disperses. H

Habitats Regulations Assessment The Habitats Directive was introduced and designed to protect and enhance species and habitats of nature conservation importance at the European level. In accordance with this directive an ‘Appropriate Assessment’ must be carried out on land use plans where it is considered that they are likely to have signiﬁcant eﬀects on Natura 2000 sites. These sites include Special Areas of Conservation (SAC’s), Special Protection Areas (SPA’s) and RAMSAR sites. This assessment will be to identify the potential impacts of land use plans against the conservation objectives of European Sites.

Highway Arisings/Planings During highway maintenance activities, asphalt material from the highway can be reclaimed and re-used.

Home Zone Residential streets in which the road space is shared between drivers of motor vehicles and other road users, with the wider needs of residents (including people who walk and cycle, and children) in mind. The aim is to change the way that streets are used and to improve the quality of life in residential streets by making them for people, not just for traffic. I Impact Another term for outcome. Impairment A long-term characteristic of an individual, which affects their functioning and/or appearance and may give rise to pain, fatigue, communication difficulties, etc. and ill health the short term or long term effect of disease or sickness. Indices of Multiple Deprivation The Indices of Deprivation is a deprivation index at the small area level, created by the British Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). Inputs Those things that are converted by a process into an output. For practical purposes (and particularly in the local government context) staffing and premises would probably be included, although it could be argued that they are resources that contribute to production and delivery rather than being converted into the output.

Intelligent Transport Systems Information and communications technology added to transport infrastructure and vehicles in an eﬀort to manage factors that typically are at odds with each other, such as vehicles, loads, and routes to improve safety and reduce vehicle wear, transportation times, and fuel consumption. In-Vehicle Information Systems In-Vehicle Telematic Systems tend to have specialist functions, such as helping taxi drivers to organise pick-ups.

104 Staﬀordshire Local Transport Plan 2011

Performance Indicators Clearly defined measures that enable an organisation to demonstrate the achievement of an individual, team, service or an authority in meeting objectives. Performance Management Performance management is the activity of tracking performance against targets and identifying opportunities for improvement - but not just looking back at past performance. The focus of performance management is the future - what do you need to be able to do and how can you do things better? Managing performance is about managing for results. Permit Scheme A scheme that gives an organisation permission to undertake maintenance and/or improvement works on the highway. Organisations that contravene their permit risk a fine.

Policy Statement of intent that shows how an objective might be delivered by using speciﬁc interventions and actions to illustrate.

Primary Route Network Roads that provide the most satisfactory route between places of traﬃc importance. The highest level is the motorway and trunk road network administered by the Highways Agency (HA) and funded by the Government. The next level down is the ‘green-backed’ sign network maintained by highway authorities but approved by the Government. Together these form the Primary Route Network.

Principal Roads A category of road identiﬁed in the Highways Act 1980, consisting of all A roads and motorways. This term is now largely unused except in legislation.

Private Finance Initiative (PFI) PFI is a Government backed partnership between the Council and private companies. The private companies can borrow money from banks to fund major improvements. We, with the Government’s help, then gradually pay back the cost of this work to the private company over the length of contract. In the case of Staﬀordshire’s Street Lighting PFI, this is 25 years.

Public Realm Public space between private buildings, including pavements, streets, squares and parks.

105 Staﬀordshire Local Transport Plan 2011

Public Transport Partnerships (PTPs) Based on the concept of Bus Quality Partnerships, Staﬀordshire’s PTPs are voluntary agreements between the County Council and local bus operators in order to develop strong route branding for key bus services allied with the provision of high quality vehicles and associated infrastructure. The overall aim of Staﬀordshire’s PTPs is to encourage modal shift and patronage growth.

Punctuality Partnerships A partnership between local authorities and bus operators that aims to deliver high standards of punctuality. R

Ramsar The Ramsar Convention (The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as waterfowl Habitat) is an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilisation of wetlands, i.e. to stem the progressive encroachment on and loss of wetlands now and in the future, recognising the fundamental ecological functions of wetlands and their economic, cultural, scientiﬁc, and recreational value. Rate of Return The amount returned per unit of time expressed as a percentage of the cost. Regionally Important Geological Sites (RIGS) Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites are non-statutorily protected sites of regional and local importance for geodiversity (geology and geomorphology) in the United Kingdom. RIGS may be designated for their value to earth science, and to earth heritage in general, and may include cultural, educational, historical and aesthetic resources.

Rights of Way All rights of way are legally highways and anyone may use them at any time. However, there are diﬀerent types including footpath (open to walkers only), bridleway (open to walkers, horseriders and cyclists), restricted byway (open to walkers, cyclists, horse riders and horse drawn vehicles), and byway open to all traﬃc (BOAT - open to walkers, cyclists, horse-riders, horse-drawn vehicles and motor vehicles).

Risk A combination of the probability of an event and its consequences, with several ways of combining these two factors being possible. There maybe more than one event and consequences can range from positive to negative and can be measured qualitatively or quantitatively.

Road Hierarchy Review A Road Hierarchy Review categorises roads and paths in terms of their function and actual use. The safe, eﬀective and eﬃcient movement of motor vehicles is balanced against the needs of other transport and non- transport users. The hierarchy is seen as the foundation of a coherent, consistent and auditable approach to managing the road network.

106 Staﬀordshire Local Transport Plan 2011

Safer Routes to School An area wide initiative designed to encourage and enable children to safely walk, cycle or use public transport to get to school. They include a combination of education, encouragement and enforcement eﬀorts in conjunction with a variety of site-speciﬁc engineering measures designed to improve safety for bicycling and walking.

Serious Collision One in which at least one person is seriously injured but no person (other than a conﬁrmed suicide) is killed within 30 days of the incident. Sites of Biological Importance (SBI) A SBI is the non-statutory designations used by all of the Staﬀordshire local authorities to protect locally valued sites of biological diversity of county importance which are described generally as Local Wildlife Sites by the UK Government.

Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Department for Environment, Food and Rural Aﬀairs states “The purpose of SSSIs is to safeguard, for present and future generations, the diversity and geographic range of habitats, species, and geological and physiographical features, including the full range of natural and semi- natural ecosystems and of important geological and physiographical phenomena throughout England. The sites included within the series of SSSIs are intended collectively to comprise the full range of natural and semi-natural habitats and the most important geological and physiographical sites. The SSSI series should therefore include all of our most valuable nature conservation and earth heritage sites, selected on the basis of well-established and publicly available scientiﬁc criteria.”

Slight Collision One in which at least one person is slightly injured but no person is killed or seriously injured. SMART Targets Speciﬁc, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound or timely. Variations are sometimes used. The A can be used for ‘agreed’ (particularly relevant in partnerships). The R can be used for realistic, reliable or resources.

Smarter Choices Smarter choices are techniques for inﬂuencing people’s travel behaviour towards more sustainable options such as encouraging school, workplace and individualised travel planning. They also seek to improve public transport and marketing services such as travel awareness campaigns, setting up websites for car share schemes, supporting car clubs and encouraging teleworking.

Socially Necessary Some bus routes which are not commercially viable may be considered ‘socially necessary’. Typically these services are supported by the local authority and are known as supported or tendered services. Supported services are usually operated by private bus operators and subsidised by the local authority; they tend to operate in the evenings, at weekends and in sparsely populated areas.

107 Staﬀordshire Local Transport Plan 2011

Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) A SAC is defined in the EU’s Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC), also known as the Directive on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora. They are to protect the 220 habitats and approximately 1000 species listed in annex I and II of the directive which are considered to be of European interest following criteria given in the directive. They must be chosen from the Sites of Community Importance by the State Members and designated SAC by an act assuring the conservation measures of the natural habitat. Special Protection Area (SPA) A SPA is a designation under the EU Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds. Under the Directive, Member States of the EU have a duty to safeguard the habitats of migratory birds and certain particularly threatened birds. Staffordshire Resilience Forum The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 requires local responder bodies to co-operate in preparing for, and responding to, emergencies through a local resilience forum. The SRF aims to ensure that there is an appropriate level of preparedness to enable an effective multi-agency response to emergencies, which may have a significant impact on the communities of Staffordshire. It is a multi-agency partnership made up of representatives from the county’s public services, including the blue-light emergency services, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, the district and borough councils, the NHS, the Environment Agency and other partners. The SRF is also assisted by wider partners such as the military, the voluntary sector, the Highways Agency, and the public utility companies. The SRF plans and prepares for major incidents by drawing on industry best practice to prepare and rehearse contingency plans for major incidents on the transport network and to prepare recovery plans. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) The European Union Directive 2001/41/EC requires national, regional and local authorities in Member States to carry out strategic environmental assessment on certain plans and programmes that they promote. SEA is a process to ensure that significant environmental effects arising from policies, plans and programmes are identified, assessed, mitigated, communicated to decision-makers, monitored and that opportunities for public involvement are provided.

Strategic Road Network Nationally signiﬁcant roads used for the distribution of goods and services consisting of all motorways and trunk ‘A’ roads that are managed by the Highways Agency, as well as the M6 Toll.

Surface Footway Any area alongside a road intended for use by pedestrians.

108 Staﬀordshire Local Transport Plan 2011

Target A commitment to achieve a specific and better quality or level of service over a specified time frame, or complete a one-off objective (such as have a new centre opened by a specific date).

Threshold The point at which further attention is focussed on performance as measured by a particular indicator. Sometimes a traﬃc light system is used to quickly signal where there are likely to be problems. This may be based on deviations from targets, but it may be better to think of these as triggers or thresholds rather than targets.

Traffic Light Systems With reference to performance management, they typically show red, amber or green circles, smiley or sad faces, up or down arrows, to indicate whether or not there is a problem with an indicator.

Traffic Regulation Order A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is the legal instrument by which traffic authorities implement most traffic management controls on their roads. Under the provisions of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, local authorities can implement TROs that are designed to regulate, restrict or prohibit the use of a road or any part of the width of a road by vehicular traffic or pedestrians. A TRO may take effect at all times or during specified periods, and certain classes of traffic may be exempted from a TRO.

Transport Asset Management Plan A strategic approach that identiﬁes the optimal allocation of resources for the management, operation, preservation and enhancement of infrastructure, to meet the needs of current and future customers. U

Unclassified Roads Council maintained minor roads that are not designated – see principal and non-principal roads.

Urban Traffic Management Control (UTMC) UTMC systems are designed to allow the different applications used within modern traffic management systems to communicate and share information with each other. This allows previously disparate data from multiple sources such as Automatic number plate recognition cameras, variable message signs (VMS), car parks, traffic signals, air quality monitoring stations and meteorological data, to be amalgamated into a central console or database. The idea behind UTMC is to maximise road network potential to create a more robust and intelligent system that can be used to meet current and future management requirements.

109 Staﬀordshire Local Transport Plan 2011

Value for Money (VfM) Is the term used to assess whether or not an organisation has obtained the maximum beneﬁt from the goods and services it acquires and/or provides, within the resources available to it. It not only measures the cost of goods and services, but also takes account of the mix of quality, cost, resource use, ﬁtness for purpose, timeliness and convenience to judge whether or not, when taken together, they constitute good value.

Vision Aspirational description of what an organisation would like to achieve or accomplish in the mid-term or long-term future. It is intended to serve as a clear guide for choosing current and future courses of action.
