Southampton City Region Transforming Cities TRANSFORMING CITIES FUND What is Transforming Cities? What is Transforming Cities? In 2018, we were successful in being selected as one of 12 areas invited to develop our plans further and bid for a share of £1.2bn from TCF. We are now developing our proposals and this leaflet explains what improvements we are seeking this funding for. Southampton City Council and Hampshire County Council are working together to finalise an ambitious proposal of transport improvements to the Department for Transport’s (DfT) Transforming Cities Fund (TCF). The TCF will fund improvements that connect people from where they live to the City Centres, places of work, education and leisure, by bike and public transport. Our proposal focuses on how people can get around the Southampton City Region easily, quickly and reliably, to reduce congestion, improve air quality, and boost productivity. TCF will support the Southampton Green City Charter and Climate Emergency in Hampshire. We are focusing on five transport corridors from Southampton to Totton & the Waterside, Romsey, Chandler’s Ford & Wincheser, Eastleigh, and Hedge End & Hamble. We want to transform people’s journeys by bike, public transport, and make changes to City Centre as the hub for transport. Local Mobility Hubs Smart Technology TCF will help us to widen the variety of To help buses get through traffic congestion travel options for people in Southampton and make journeys more reliable TCF and Eastleigh. We are looking to will help us to implement new innovative develop locations in local areas, such technology and sensors. Known as as at shops, where people can hire Connected Intelligent Transport Systems different types of electric vehicles (cars, (C-ITS) we can use these to provide vans or bikes). These locations will information to people on traffic, incidents, also be points where people can pick parking and journey times, and assist buses up deliveries, a coffee, or use public through busy sections of road. transport. How will it benefit Southampton and Hampshire? Rapid Bus TCF will enable us to continue in partnership with the bus operators to make travelling by bus an easy, quick and more attractive option for all. Our Rapid Bus proposals include bus priority lanes, priority at traffic signals, enhanced bus stops, developing Park & Ride, innovative technology and low-emission, modern buses. Together this will make bus journeys faster and reliable so people can choose them to get to work or school. Southampton Cycle Network TCF will allow us to deliver the Southampton Cycle Network (SCN), an emerging network of safe and accessible cycle routes into and around Southampton that make cycling a realistic option for people. Active Travel Zones TCF will allow us to work with local communities to roll out a network of Active Travel Zones (ATZs) in neighbourhoods so people can walk and cycle easily and safely. Schools and people living and working within the neighbourhoods will play an important role in developing the ATZs so they deliver changes to the streets that the local community want to see. City Centre Transformation Over time the City Centre will be transformed into a place where people from across the entire bid area want to spend time and money by creating attractive streets, public spaces and easier interchanges. It will also contribute to creating attractive public spaces that people want to visit and improve wellbeing.
