Local Transport Plan: status, targets and/or indicators
See notes
We are investigating the status of local authorities’ LTPs (i.e. how up-to-date they are) and how ambitious they are in seeking to halt or reverse the growth of road traffic, increase the proportion of trips made by sustainable transport modes and/or improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
1. Has your authority commenced or completed a revision or replacement of its Local Transport Plan (LTP) since the Government published its Transport Decarbonisation Plan in July 2021?
Yes, commenced.
2. Which describes the current status of your authority's LTP?
A draft has been subject to public consultation that has now closed (on 8th March), with feedback now under consideration. We would anticipate final publication later in 2024 subject to the democratic process and any guidance from DfT which we are still waiting for.
3. Does your current LTP or latest draft LTP (if more recent) include targets or performance indicators relating to:
a) Reductions in the volume, or rate of growth, of car or motor-vehicle traffic in your area (or any part of it)?
b) Increasing the number or proportion of trips in your area (or any part of it) made by walking and/or cycling and/or public transport?
c) Reductions in the volume of carbon dioxide emissions from road or surface transport in your area (or any part of it)?
d) Reductions in casualties, casualty rates or other quantified improvements in safety for pedestrians and/or cycle users?
If yes to any of the above, what are these targets or indicators?
These are detailed in the LTP, some are more specific than others whilst others are yet to be defined as an exact figure; again, this may be dependent on the guidance which DfT have been telling Transport Authorities will be issued soon, see our draft report at https://engage.wokingham.gov.uk/en-GB/projects/a-new-local-transport-plan-for-wokingham-borough
4. What is the name, job title and email address for the officer with overall responsibility for your authority's Local Transport Plan?
Rob Curtis, Transport Planning Team Manager. Robert.curtis@wokingham.gov.uk
5. Do you have an email address for inquiries about the Local Transport Plan? If so, what is this?
Transportplanning@wokingham.gov.uk
