Transport Strategy

Monitoring and evaluation

An Annual Progress Report will be prepared to report on our progress in delivering our objectives.  This will integrate with monitoring requirements at a regional level and will be submitted annually to the Council’s Cabinet.

6.1 Measures of success

The table below provides a set of indicators that we will monitor for each of our objectives.  These are a mixture of indicators that:

  • directly relate to the way that people and goods travel. For example, over time we expect to see increasing numbers of people walking, cycling and taking public transport and fewer people driving
  • indicators that are influenced by many things, including transport. For example, we expect improvements to the city’s transport system to lead to longer life expectancies and better employment rates among residents. However, there will be many other factors that will also affect these indicators.

We will report our progress against the following indicators on a regular basis.
