Local Transport Plan 2001-06 Delivery Report

In order to gauge the overall outcome performance of the LTP local authorities are required to submit a Local Transport Plan Delivery Report. City of York Council submitted its LTP Delivery Report to the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Government Office for Yorkshire and the Humber on 31 July 2006.

The Delivery Report is available to download in pdf format below. Please note that some of these files may take several minutes to download if you are using a dial-up connection.

The key achievements of the LTP were:

  • Over £15m of private sector investment in a replacement bus fleet
  • A high quality Park & Ride service, which has experienced passenger growth from 1.1 to 2.6 million passengers per year
  • Bus patronage growth of 45%
  • Peak-hour urban traffic lower than 1999 levels
  • A 10% increase in non-car modes for trips to the city centre at peak times
  • Achieving the status of the UK’s top cycling city (ERCDT assessment 2004) with cycling levels well above the national average
  • A state of the art Traffic Management System with the pioneering Traffic Congestion Management System (TCMS) and Bus Location Information Sub-System (BLISS) systems
  • Over 20% reduction in road accidents, thereby being on-track to achieve the government’s road traffic accident reduction targets for 2010
  • A doubling of the number of children cycling to school (to 11%)
  • Significant improvements in the condition of roads and footways
