Book Description
This draft Local Transport Bill (which comes in 4 volumes: Vol. 1: A consultation; Vol. 2: The draft Bill; Vol. 3: Explantory notes; Vol. 4: Regulatory impact assessments), seeks consultation on a series of proposals to tackle congestion and improve public transport in England and Wales, with some smaller measures applying across Great Britain. It sets out an agenda to empower local authorities to develop local solutions to local transport challenges, for example improving the quality of local bus services, by building on the ideas outlined in the "Putting Passengers First" document. (Available as a pdf on the Department of Transport website, published December 2006, http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/regional/buses/secputtingpassengersfirst/pdfputtingpassfirst). There are proposals to reform the way local transport is managed in major urban areas, through review and proposed changes, if necessary, to existing transport governance. Further the Bill proposes that the existing powers and duties of the Passenger Transport Authorities (PTAs) should be updated outside London, to provide for a stronger process for planning transport. The Bill also provides support for the introduction of local road pricing, allowing local authorities to develop their own local road pricing schemes. This Draft Bill invites views from interested parties, the consultation closing on Friday 7 September 2007.

Book Description
Public Transport provides an accessible introductory text to the field of public transport systems, covering bus, coach, rail, metro, domestic air and taxi modes. The market structure is set out, together with data collection methods. The technology of bus and rail systems is introduced with particular reference to peak capacity and energy consumption. An analysis of cost structures and costing methods leads into a review of pricing concepts and their application. In addition to issues related to urban systems, specific chapters cover rural public transport and the long-distance sector. A concluding chapter examines long-run policy issues, such as likely population changes and scope for substitution of travel. The primary context taken is that of the British Isles, drawing extensively on data such as the National Travel Survey in England. However, the principles and findings are also broadly applicable to countries of similar per capita income and population density. This sixth edition introduces a new chapter on data collection and survey methods for public transport systems in addition to a general update of the text to reflect the latest statistical evidence, research findings and policy changes. Public Transport is an essential textbook for both students in transport and those in related fields. This is an invaluable resource for transport planners in local authorities and consultancies.

Book Description
This title was first published in 2003. The UK transport White Paper "A New Deal for Transport" and new Transport Acts for England, Wales and Scotland have indicated and defined the future direction and policy agenda of national governments. The need for integrated transport raises key policy issues, among which are: the importance of sustainability; and the integration of transport policy with other areas of public policy, such as social exclusion and health. The idea of this direction in policy has implications for the changing nature of work, traveller information, interchange and public transport, freight distribution and the use of new technology. This volume also examines key areas of policy and regulation, which are developing as a result of the White Paper and the new Transport Acts. The volume brings together leading UK academics in the field of transport studies to discuss and reflect on these issues, and the state of transport policy in the UK within this new and developing policy framework.
