3 INTRODUCTION 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose The Three Towns Travel (3TT) scheme is a Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) large project being delivered jointly by Bournemouth Borough Council, Borough of Poole and Dorset County Council, and their delivery partners. This draft sets out how the project team intends to assess, and report on, the effectiveness of the project over time in meeting the anticipated core outcomes and, in particular, in supporting the two primary objectives for the fund supporting the economy and reducing carbon emissions. This draft builds upon the outline monitoring plan submitted as part of the business case to the DfT in December It forms the basis of further discussion with the Department, with a view to agreeing a finalised for publication in Spring Together with the Annual Outputs Reporting and indepth Case Study evaluation, this will provide a valuable source of data and information which will: Allow effective monitoring and evaluation of the 3TT LSTF project; Provide a valuable evidence base to inform future delivery of sustainable transport initiatives in the South East Dorset conurbation - particularly the implementation of further corridor based schemes as planned in the transport strategy; Provide an effective method for benchmarking and comparison against other LSTF projects, and the sharing of best practice and knowledge nationally; and Contribute to the overall assessment of the LSTF, at a national level. 1.2 Approach We have developed the with reference to the LSTF Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (DfT, December 2012), LSTF Monitoring and Evaluation Guidance Final Report (PTEG / AECOM, August 2012) and other best practice guidance 1. It represents a bespoke set of measures which are tailored to the particular characteristics and anticipated outcomes of the 3TT project. We believe this is a balanced, focused plan which strikes the right balance taking into consideration the need for robust, informative data collection and the demands on limited resources. 1 Guidance for Transport Impact Evaluations: Choosing an evaluation approach to achieve better attribution (March 2010) LSTF _v10a.doc 1

4 INTRODUCTION Some elements of this are still in development, which accords with its status as a draft for discussion purposes. It is also envisaged that additional detail (including supplementary technical information) will be provided to support a number of areas for the final version. We welcome comment and feedback from the Department on the overall approach and ways in which this draft version could be strengthened. 1.3 Structure The development of the plan, the proposed measures and data requirements, and the management and delivery of the plan are detailed within this document as follows: A brief overview of the 3TT project, including aspects of particular relevance to the monitoring approach, is provided in Chapter 2 The anticipated outcomes that form the basis of the monitoring plan are detailed in Chapter 3 Chapter 4 sets out the proposed measures and data requirements, linked to the outcomes An overview of the proposed data collection methods is provided in Chapter 5 Chapters 6 to 8 set out how we propose to implement the monitoring plan, including: resourcing and governance arrangements (Chapter 6), timeframes for data collection and reporting (Chapter 7) and plans for knowledge sharing (Chapter 8).

5 SCHEME BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT 2 Scheme background and context 2.1 Scheme overview The 3 Towns Travel scheme comprises an integrated and targeted package of measures which aims to create a long-lasting step change in low-carbon travel along the key east-west transport corridor connecting Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch. The package includes enhanced local bus, rail, walking and cycling alternatives through a combination of targeted infrastructure, service and operational improvements. This is complemented by removing key barriers to the use of these modes and by engaging with local communities and businesses along the corridor to nudge travel behaviour towards non-car modes. The diagram below illustrates the broad scope of the scheme: The 16km long corridor provides the primary east-west route across the SE Dorset conurbation. It links the main centres of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch and includes a number of local district centres, including Boscombe, Parkstone, Ashley Road and Westbourne. It is defined in the main by the A35 route (a key bus corridor) and the section of the London Waterloo to Weymouth mainline railway which runs almost parallel. This provides both fast services and less frequent local stopping services, calling at the six stations along this section. LSTF _v10a.doc 3

6 SCHEME BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT 2.2 Scheme elements The 3TT scheme comprises nine elements as set out below, together with the costs: Scheme element LSTF revenue LSTF capital Local capital TOTAL Enhancing low carbon alternatives 1 Bus improvement measures Bus priority at signals / junctions, Bus Quality Agreement 2 Walking and Cycling + low carbon vehicles Cycle lanes, cycle parking, signing, pedestrian crossings, EV charging points Managing the corridor more efficiently 3 Intelligent transport systems Intelligent signals control, CCTV, ANPR technology 4 Active management and enforcement TRO review, enforcement resources Improving integration 5 Interchanges and waiting facilities Bus stops / shelters upgraded to consistent standard, a series of Super Stops, improvements at key hubs, RTI 6 Access to railway stations Cycle hire, minor walk / cycle access improvements, wayfinding Enabling and influencing behaviour change 7 Travel planning Engagement with businesses and schools, Station Travel Plans Creating thriving and attractive local centres 8 Public realm improvements De-clutter street scene, use of quality materials, gateway treatments 9 Programme management and monitoring TOTAL The original scheme as proposed in the LSTF bid included comprehensive Smarter Choices elements (including Personalised Travel Planning, Organisational Travel Planning, journey planning tools and information and marketing and promotion). However, only the Organisational Travel Planning element was subsequently funded. LSTF _v10a.doc 4

7 SCHEME BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT 2.3 Scheme delivery The 3TT scheme is being delivered during the period from July 2012 to March 2015 (the expected completion date). The delivery profile is such that many of the larger projects are planned for implementation in the latter stages of the delivery period, reflecting the preparation times. A timeline showing proposed scheme implementation is set out overleaf. It should be notes that some of dates of future schemes are still provisional at this stage. Within the 3TT corridor area, there are few other specific interventions of significance planned which do not form part of the project. However, there are two area wide initiatives which are likely to have some influence within the area. These are the Better Bus Area Fund project (conurbation wide) and a LSTF small project in Bournemouth. The proposals for these two projects were put together to be complimentary to the 3TT project. There is likely, however, to be some overlap of impacts, particularly in relation to some of the area wide marketing type initiatives. 2.4 Summary (key aspects for monitoring) In summary, aspects of the 3TT scheme of particular relevance to the scope of this include: A particular focus on a defined transport corridor (with an associated area of influence) Implementation of significant projects towards the end of the delivery period, with the full impacts not likely to materialise for some time A significant (but not exclusive) focus on short-distance commuter trips between the main centres and/ or local centres within the corridor A greater focus on sustainable transport infrastructure and operational type measures, as opposed to extensive behaviour change initiatives Household travel surveys / interviews are no longer within scope (due to PTP and Smarter Choices elements not being funded see above). The outline monitoring plan submitted with the business case assumed these would be included. LSTF _v10a.doc 5

10 SCHEME OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES 3 Scheme objectives and outcomes 3.1 3TT objectives The objectives, as set out in the business case, are to: Deliver a step change in the quality, attractiveness and user perception of low carbon travel choices along the corridor, which makes them more competitive with the car Reduce delays to buses and improve bus journey time punctuality / reliability Deliver modal shift to low carbon alternatives to the car, particularly for shorter distance commuting and school car trips Heighten public awareness and acceptability of sustainable travel Reduce car dependency, with an associated reduction in car trips and total vehicle kilometres Reduce congestion and variability in journey times on the corridor to smooth traffic flows Increase levels of active travel Enhance the public realm / street scene and create more attractive, safe and welcoming local environments Create more integrated multi-modal sustainable travel opportunities on the corridor Enhanced, and more equal, opportunities to access jobs and services, for all sectors of the community, particularly by public transport, walking and cycling Increase community participation and ownership in tackling transport issues on the corridor, including local businesses and public transport operators 3.2 3TT Core Outcomes The objectives have been reviewed to identify the most significant outcomes for the 3TT project. In doing this we have sought to ensure that the resultant outcomes are SMART Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time constrained. This process has been informed by a logic mapping exercise which identifies the sequence of interventions resulting in the achievement of the project outcomes. The logic map is included at Appendix 1. The 3TT outcomes that require monitoring, and the associated longer term impacts, are detailed in the table on the following page: LSTF _v10a.doc 8

11 SCHEME OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES 3TT Core Outcome 1 Reduced congestion and delays 2 Enhanced bus service performance (improved journey times, reliability and punctuality) 3 Modal shift to public transport, walking and cycling 4 Reduced car dependency (fewer car trips and overall mileage) 5 Increased public transport patronage 6 Increased active travel 7 Thriving and attractive centres Impacts Supporting the economy Increased business confidence and economic competitiveness Increased productivity (reduced time costs of travel) Support higher density growth on a key corridor Enhanced vitality of local centres Increased pool of labour for businesses Reducing carbon emissions Reduction in CO2 emissions from transport Wider impacts Increased social inclusion Stronger communities Increased levels of physical activity Improved air quality LSTF _v10a.doc 9

12 SCHEME OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES 3.3 Definition of the Evaluation Process The approach to be adopted for impact evaluation will be based on outcome monitoring. However, a key limitation of the outcome approach is that it cannot prove the scheme alone was the cause of the observed outcomes. Also it will not provide evidence about why the scheme was successful (or not). While are no other major local interventions planned for the corridor, external factors such as changes in fuel prices and economic conditions may change considerably over the life of the project. Therefore, attribution (mechanisms through which change occurred) must also be considered. The following research questions will be answered in the final evaluation report in 2017 to provide information on outcomes and attribution. Was the project delivered on time and within budget? Were there any unforeseen events / difficulties which hampered project delivery? To what extent have travel times changed and why? What is the overall change in mode split and why? To what extent has car dependency reduced? How has the vitality of town/ local centres changed and why? Have vacancy rates within the corridor changed differently to other areas? What is the overall change in carbon emissions? Can the projects quantifiable changes be converted into monetised benefits? If so to what extent has the scheme delivered value for money? Did the project have any unexpected outcomes or consequences? LSTF _v10a.doc 10

13 SCHEME OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES 3.4 Key Outcomes and Impacts The key impacts expected from the 3TC package reported in the Business Case included the following measurable items: A total reduction in delays (pcu-hrs) of 717,600 hrs per annum, equivalent to a 4.5% reduction in delays across SE Dorset Journey time savings to buses, resulting in travel time benefits of 2.5M An increase of 3,246,277 bus trips per annum and 665,612 rail trips per annum, representing a 16% increase and 18% increase respectively across SE Dorset Journey time savings to cars / LGVs/ HGVs, resulting in total travel time benefits of 142.3M The removal of 20,368,423 car kms (pcu-kms) per annum, equivalent to a 1.1% reduction across SE Dorset 40,948 tonnes of carbon saved (over 60 year appraisal period) - a reduction of 150,143 tonnes CO 2 equivalent Increased retail footfall (estimated at 5-10%) promoting higher consumer spend A total of 37,697 additional cycling trips per annum (based on appraisal of the new cycling infrastructure on the corridor alone) Reducing lost output by preventing road casualties, resulting in M of benefits 3.5 Value for Money Assessment The Business Case contained an Appraisal Summary Table to summarise Quantitative and Qualitative assessments of the proposals. This table included monetised benefits. The Value for Money (VfM) statement made in the Business Case predicted a very high Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of However, this included twelve scheme elements of which only eight have subsequently received DfT funding. The data collected for the monitoring programme will enable the Appraisal Summary Table (AST) to be reviewed and updated with observed values. Although it is not intended to re-run the South East Dorset Multi Modal; Transport \model, the LSTF _v10a.doc 11

14 SCHEME OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES monitoring data collected will also allow new calculations to be made for the following elements of the Present Value of Benefits: Overall Delay (Journey times) Travel time benefits to buses (Bus usage and Journey times) Highway travel time benefits (Vehicle kilometres, Journey times) Reliability benefits (Vehicle kilometres, Journey variability) Carbon savings (Local Authority Carbon Tool) Physical fitness (cycling / walking activity) Journey Ambience (cycling activity) Accident benefits (Vehicle kilometres, Accident data) Indirect Tax Revenue (Vehicle kilometres) LSTF _v10a.doc 12

15 DATA COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS 4 Data requirements 4.1 Selecting core outcome indicators We are proposing a set of 16 core outcome indicators which form the basis of this. In identifying suitable metrics and data we have given particular attention to the following factors: How relevant they are to assessing progress against the 3TT core outcomes (as defined in Chapter 3); Whether they are appropriate for monitoring the type and scale of changes anticipated (including whether they allow for the assessment of changes at the corridor level); and Making use of existing data sources wherever possible (including the potential for disaggregation to the corridor level). The table on the following page sets out the proposed indicators and demonstrates how each of these will contribute to monitoring the achievement of one or more of the 3TT core outcomes (the relationship is indicated regardless of whether it is direct or indirect). LSTF _v10a.doc 13

16 DATA COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS Reduce congestion and delays Enhanced bus service performance Modal shift to public transport, walking and cycling Reduced car dependency Increased public transport patronage Increased levels of active travel Thriving and attractive centres Core Outcome Indicator Vehicle flows 2 Vehicle kilometres 3 Public transport usage 4 Cycling activity 5 Walking activity 6 Traffic congestion 7 Journey time variability 8 Bus punctuality 9 Bus journey times 10 Public satisfaction with transport provision 11 Modal splits 12 Vitality of local / town centres 13 Carbon emissions 14 Road safety 15 Accessibility 16 Air quality Each indicator will not be treated in isolation. They are likely to provide useful crossreferencing with other indicators to help understand the delivery against outcomes in greater detail. Where considered useful we have also made use of some existing data sources which, whilst not monitoring against the core outcomes directly, should provide valuable contextual information for interpreting the wider findings. 4.2 Overview of core outcome indicators Details of the proposed core outcome indicators are set out within the table on the following pages. This includes the indicator name, definition, measurement units / variables, applicable geographical level(s), data source(s) and data collection frequency. LSTF _v10a.doc 14

21 DATA COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS 4.3 Other background data In addition to the data sources to be collected for the core outcome indicators there will be a number of other useful data sources which may facilitate interpretation of the outcomes monitoring. This includes data and feedback from specific initiatives. For example, data on membership / usage of cycle hire could be cross-referenced against the relevant core outcome indicators for cycling activity and may help to interpret changes. A series of output type data related to the delivery of initiatives will be collated throughout the project to inform the Annual Outputs Reporting. We will make use of this to provide valuable contextual information to enhance our understanding of the outcomes monitoring. Similarly, other relevant local economic, social and demographic background data will also be referred to. 4.4 Control data As recommended in the LSTF Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, a range of options for providing controls has been considered. The preferred method for control, and that felt to be most appropriate for the nature of the 3TT scheme, is the use of a comparator corridor elsewhere within the South East Dorset conurbation. Due to the associated costs and other practical data collection issues, we do not intend to mirror the core data collection on an exact like for like basis. Instead, we will seek to make use of those data sources that are most readily available. The A3049 Wallisdown corridor is considered to be the most suitable comparator corridor. This is indicated by the solid red corridor illustrated in the diagram below: LSTF _v10a.doc 19

22 DATA COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS In many instances the data for the proposed metrics is also already collected, or is attainable, at the local authority level. This in itself will provide useful validation data to compare against the core data collected at the corridor level. We welcome the Department s feedback on the approach to control data. 4.5 Baseline data Baselines and historical trend data (where available) are in the process of being established, with a focus on existing data sources. Baseline data will be provided once the core outcome indicators and proposed data collection methods have been agreed with the Department. LSTF _v10a.doc 20

23 DATA COLLECTION METHODS 5 Data collection methods This section provides a brief overview of each of the main data collection methods necessary to fulfil the data requirements for the 3TT, as identified in Chapter 4. Each of these is considered in the following sections. Relevant supporting maps and tables can be found in Appendices 2 to Traffic counts Four different types of traffic count data will be collected to monitor changes in travel patterns. These are: Automatic Traffic Counts (ATC) relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 1, 2, 6 and 13. Manual Traffic Counts (MTC) - relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 1, 2, 4, 5 and 13. Automatic Cycling Counts - relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 4 Cordon surveys - relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 3, 11 The spatial coverage of this data collection is illustrated in Appendix Automatic Traffic Counts We intend to collect vehicle counts through ATC s at a total of 58 sites, on a mixture of different road classifications within and around the corridor area. Existing sites of relevance to the 3TT scheme have been reviewed and, where considered necessary, additional sites have been identified. The resultant set of sites is considered to be representative of key vehicle movements, of sufficient coverage and targeted. A broad breakdown of the sites is provided below: Authority Existing New TOTAL Continuous Monthly Quarterly Bournemouth Poole Dorset Full details of the ATC sites are included in Appendix 2. These sites will be monitored consistently throughout the 3TT monitoring period. The ATC sites are able to provide continuous recording of vehicle counts over each 24 hour period, throughout the year. This will not only provides a very robust estimate of LSTF _v10a.doc 21

24 DATA COLLECTION METHODS changes in total motor traffic, but will also allow investigation of whether the scheme has had any impacts on other trends, such as seasonal variations and daily flow profiles. Existing ATC sites will provide historical trend data going back a number of years which will help to interpret the impacts of the 3TT scheme on longer term trends. The ATC equipment utilised does not provide an accurate description of vehicle type. However, this is not considered to be a significant factor since the 3TT scheme is predominantly focused on reducing car traffic, and cars typically account for over 85% of all vehicles on the majority of roads Automatic Cycling Counts We intend to monitor a total of 9 automatic cycle count sites in relation to the 3TT scheme. These are all existing sites and are located on a selection of key cycle routes within the corridor area. Details of the sites are in Appendix 2. It is challenging to monitor cycle flows accurately using static count points (inevitably some leakage will occur). However, the outputs (in terms of average flows) are influenced less by variables, such as the daily weather, which can impact on the results of one-off counts. Historical trend data is available for the Automatic Cycling Count points. The Automatic Cycling Counts data will be complemented by counts of cyclists at sites recorded through Manual Traffic Counts (see below) Manual Traffic Counts MTC counts will complement the data collected at automatic count sites. We intend to collect data at a total of 40 MTC sites. We have reviewed MTC sites currently monitored on a regular basis and, where considered necessary, have identified further sites to be monitored on the same basis for the purposes of the 3TT scheme. At each site the number and type of vehicles will be recorded over a 12 hour period (7AM to 7PM). The classifications will include: Car LGV OGV Bus Motorcycle Pedal cycle Pedestrians LSTF _v10a.doc 22

25 DATA COLLECTION METHODS In addition to supplementing vehicle counts at ATC sites (and providing vehicle classification), the MTC counts will provide a key source of data on pedestrian and cyclist flows. Full details of the MTC sites are included in Appendix 2. This includes the type of count, such as full classified count, turning count or link count. A number of MTC sites will also monitor car and bus occupancies. Counts will be undertaken by enumerators at a minimum frequency of once per year, during a neutral month(s) (typically May/ June or September / October). They will be repeated at the same times of the year, each year, throughout the 3TT monitoring period. Expansion factors will be utilised to gross the figures up to Annual Average Daily Flows Cordon / screenline surveys A number of the MTC sites (see above) make up cordon or screenline surveys which are used to monitor total movements into town centres (cordons) or total movements across a defined boundary (screenlines). These are summarised below: Cordon / screenline Bournemouth Town Centre Poole Town Centre Christchurch Town Centre Existing/ New No. of sites Frequency Existing 8 Annual (1 day every May/ June) Existing 6 Annual (1 day every May/ June) Existing 3 Annual (1 day every June) Boscombe Existing 5 Annual (1 day in May/June) East / West screenline Existing Annual (1 day every May/ June) Car and bus occupancy data will be collected at all cordon and screenline sites. This will enable modal splits to be derived for the classifications at each site, and for the cordon as a whole. Historical trend data is available at all cordon and screenline count sites. LSTF _v10a.doc 23

26 DATA COLLECTION METHODS 5.2 Bus patronage data This data collection method is relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 3. Historically, data on bus passenger journeys has been collected at the local authority level, sourced from ticket sales data provided by the bus operators. For the purposes of the 3TT we intend to collect data for specific routes / services within the 3TT corridor area. However, there are issues with this approach relating to commercial confidentiality which need to be addressed. We are currently negotiating the scope of bus patronage data collection and reporting as part of the Bus Quality Agreement for the 3TT corridor. We anticipate agreement being reached for the provision of passenger journey data along the geographical extent of the corridor where the two main operators run over the same routes. Passenger journey data would therefore be collected for these services: Service No. Operator Route length M1 Wilts & Dorset between Poole Bus Station and Lansdowne M2 Wilts & Dorset between Poole Bus Station and Fisherman s Walk 1a Yellow Buses between Bournemouth Centre and Pokesdown Station 1b / 1c Yellow Buses between Poole Bus Station and Fisherman s Walk The extent of these services is illustrated on the map in Appendix 3. We do not anticipate collecting passenger journey data for the smaller operators. 5.3 Bus punctuality surveys This data collection method is relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 8. Bus punctuality data will be collected through recorded observations of bus arrival and departure times at a total of eight key timing points located within the corridor area. The location of these timing points is illustrated on the map in Appendix 3. This is a sub-set of timing points monitored annually to provide area wide bus punctuality figures. Observed arrival and departure times will be collected at each timing point by enumerators, up to four times per month over the course of a year. Observed times LSTF _v10a.doc 24

27 DATA COLLECTION METHODS are compared with scheduled times to calculate the punctuality figures (number of buses on time). On time is defined as up to one minute early to five minutes late. 5.4 TrafficMaster journey time data This data collection method is relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 6 and 7. GPS satellite navigation data is provided by TrafficMaster. We plan to use this data to calculate travel times (and variability in travel times) on specific routes within the 3TT corridor area in order to monitor congestion. The route sections within the corridor area selected for these purposes are illustrated in Appendix 4. We have defined a total of ten route sections (eastbound and westbound directions) over which travel times will be monitored, each comprising multiple links. The sections range from approximately 2 to 5 miles in length each Average AM peak journey time per mile The parameters to be used consistently in the TrafficMaster data selection are as follows: Parameter Day types Days Value(s) Mon term time, Tue-Thur term time, Fri term time ALL From / to date 1 Sep 2011 to 30 Aug 2012 Start / end time Vehicles types Theme type 8AM to 9AM Cars / LGV / HGV <7.5T / HGV >7.5T Speed KPH In order to provide a congestion measure for the whole corridor area, the section journey times and distances will be weighted by peak flows. The sum of the weighted section journey times will then be divided by the sum of the weighted section distances. We expect there to be sufficient data observations to ensure that average AM peak journey time changes reported at a route section level are statistically significant. We LSTF _v10a.doc 25

28 DATA COLLECTION METHODS intend to verify this, in addition to investigating the scope for establishing statistically significant changes at a finer level of detail (i.e. segments or individual links) Variation in journey times Trafficmaster journey time data will provide the basis for this metric with variation based on the upper and lower confidence limits. We intend to analyse day to day variability within defined time bands. The feasibility of this is currently being investigated. 5.5 NHT Survey This data collection method is relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 4, 5 and 10. The National Highways and Transport survey is conducted annually by Ipsos MORI. It is based on a postal survey with questionnaires being sent to a minimum random sample of 4,500 households per participating authority. For Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset, based on previous years a response rate of approximately 20% can be expected. The questionnaire is predominantly focused on gauging public satisfaction with various aspects of highways and transport provision in the local authority area. It also includes some useful questions on travel behaviour. Aspects of both these types of questions have been identified as part of the data requirements for the 3TT. In order that the analysis of the survey results is of particular relevance to the 3TT scheme, we intend to disaggregate the results to the group of wards within the corridor area. However, we acknowledge that, in doing so, it will become more difficult to demonstrate statistically significant changes due to the smaller sample size. 5.6 Workplace travel surveys This data collection method is relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 11. Records of workplace travel survey results are maintained within the relevant travel plan monitoring databases for each authority. Surveys are currently undertaken by employers either to their own timescales or as required by a Travel Plan monitoring schedule (as part of a planning permission). For the purposes of the 3TT we intend to encourage employers to participate in a regular annual snapshot travel survey which will collect basic data on the main mode of transport used by staff. This will be undertaken in the same month each year in order to enhance the consistency of data. The number of participating employers is likely to grow throughout the monitoring period. The use of itrace (travel plan monitoring software) will allow employers within the 3TT corridor area to be attached to a group in order to facilitate the reporting of results. LSTF _v10a.doc 26

29 DATA COLLECTION METHODS 5.7 Air Quality Data This data collection method is relevant to Core Outcome Indicator: 16. Levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are monitored at 27 locations throughout the corridor. Data is collected by way of diffusion tubes which provide an average concentration of nitrogen dioxide over a four or five week period. Annual average NO2 data will be reported. 5.8 Stated Preference Surveys This data collection method could be relevant to Core Outcome Indicators: 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 15. Consideration is being given to the use of stated preference surveys of a stratified sample of transport users in the corridor. Surveys could be undertaken during 2013 and again in The results would complement the physical data collection stated above. LSTF _v10a.doc 27

30 RESOURCING AND GOVERNANCE 6 Resourcing and governance 6.1 Monitoring budget We have allocated a proportion of the overall Programme Management budget (see Chapter 2) specifically for the purposes of monitoring and evaluation. The anticipated breakdown is shown in the table below. The table sets out annual budgets for the 3 years of the LSTF period, plus the anticipated budget requirements for monitoring beyond the end of the fund period (from local authority funding) 2. 3TT Monitoring budget ( 000 s) TOTAL BUDGET DfT LSTF grant (Revenue) Local authority funding 12/13 13/14 14/15 TOTAL 15/16 16/17 17/18 TOTAL The monitoring budget accounts for a relatively small proportion of the overall scheme costs. This reflects our proportionate approach to monitoring and our intention to utilise existing data sources (such as the Local Transport Plan monitoring data) wherever feasible and appropriate. In the majority of cases, the use of existing data sources will still require time and effort in undertaking further analysis and disaggregation. 6.2 Governance and delivery The diagram on the following page illustrates the overall governance and delivery arrangements for the 3TT. These will ensure that the plan is appropriately resourced, that it is delivered to time and budget, and that there are suitable reporting mechanisms in place. 2 These are indicative budgets and, subject to Project Board approval, could be revised. Existing monitoring funded from LTP budgets will also contribute to the overall data collection for 3TT monitoring. LSTF _v10a.doc 28

31 RESOURCING AND GOVERNANCE 3TT Project Management Board Key stakeholders DfT 3TT Programme Manager 3TT Delivery Group 3TT Monitoring Co-ordinator Bournemouth BC monitoring staff Poole BC monitoring staff Dorset CC monitoring staff A 3TT Monitoring Co-ordinator will have overall responsibility for delivering the 3TT. This will not be a full time role, but will comprise of ad-hoc support from a designated staff resource as necessary (equivalent to approximately 0.2 FTE). This role is currently being undertaken by an in-house member of staff at Dorset County Council. Working closely with existing monitoring staff within the three partner authorities and relevant delivery partners, they will be responsible for making arrangements for data collection, collation of data, analysis, reporting and dissemination. They will have full ownership of the 3TT throughout the monitoring period. The 3TT Monitoring Co-ordinator will report to the 3TT Programme Manager, providing regular updates and reporting of any issues. The escalation process will be via the Programme Manager to the 3TT Project Management Board, as appropriate. LSTF _v10a.doc 29

32 RESOURCING AND GOVERNANCE 6.3 Risk management and quality assurance We intend to put in place appropriate procedures to ensure that our data collection and reporting is as accurate and reliable as possible. These include: Independent checking of key calculations at officer level; A robust approvals process via the Programme Manager and Project Management Board for the issuing of monitoring reports and the release of data to third parties; Regular checks on ATC sites and other monitoring equipment to identify any faults at an early stage and to minimise the likelihood of inconsistent / incomplete data sets; Maintaining a diary of any key external events or factors that may influence the project outcomes (this will be maintained by the 3TT Monitoring Coordinator); Checks on data accuracy and consistency to identify any abnormal results or irregular patterns which require further investigation; and Keeping a log of any assumptions applied in the course of delivering the 3TT. Where it is necessary to make assumptions, these will be based on the most robust evidence available and, if necessary, discussed and agreed with the DfT. LSTF _v10a.doc 30

33 DELIVERY PLAN 7 Delivery plan 7.1 Monitoring timeframe Whilst the LSTF period will finish at the end of March 2015 we expect the full impacts of the 3TT scheme to continue to ramp up over time. To allow for the full benefits of the scheme to be realised the outcomes will continue to be monitored over a further 24 month period. Each of the data sources required to monitor against the core outcome indicators will be collected at least once a year throughout the monitoring period, as set out in Chapter Delivery timescales The delivery of the 3TT will follow structured timescales for both data collection and reporting. The timescale for key milestones is detailed below: Key milestone 1 Submit draft 3TT to DfT for discussion and agreement Timescale February Publish Final 3TT August Annual 3TT Monitoring Report 1 August Annual 3TT Monitoring Report 2 July Interim 3TT Update Report January End of LSTF funding period March Annual 3TT Monitoring Report 3 July TT Detailed Interim Report July Final 3TT post implementation report July 2017 LSTF _v10a.doc 31

34 DISSEMINATION PLAN 8 Dissemination plan 8.1 Overview We recognise the importance of sharing the progress and findings from the 3TT with the public, stakeholders, the Department, and other local authorities. Dissemination activity will focus on achieving the following: Ensuring maximum overall use of the 3TT project findings; Ensuring maximum awareness of the 3TT outcomes; Ensuring lessons learned from the 3TT project are shared locally and nationally (and internationally if relevant); and Ensuring researchers and other third parties have maximum opportunity to assess the impact of the 3TT programme. 8.2 Dissemination tools Dissemination will be co-ordinated with the wider Communications Strategy for the 3TT project which has established appropriate communication methods for different target audiences. Relevant tools which will support the dissemination of findings from the project evaluation include: a distinctive brand / logo; dedicated web pages ( a full stakeholder contact list; and a media strategy (press releases, articles etc). 8.3 Dissemination methods We aim to share our project findings with a wide spectrum of different groups, which will require a variety of approaches. The proposed methods for dissemination and their relevant target audiences are shown in the table below: Dissemination Method type 3TT Web pages On-line videos Description Final and annual Monitoring Reports to be published and made available on the dedicated project web pages.
