• Roads
• Bus
• Rail

Roads
• Major and minor improvements within and between valleys – A470, A465,A472 etc etc
• Large reduction in journey times• Higher car ownership

Bus
• Express buses, bus priority – faster journey times
• Better quality vehicles• Smaller buses – easier to access some
communities• Improved bus stations, waiting facilities,

Accessibility :Land use/destinations
• Major changes to employment, shopping and leisure locations
• Access by car – much improved for most• Access by public transport – mixed picture
depending on destination and personal circumstances( proximity to service, level of service, need to interchange, fare)
![Page 12: PowerPoint Presentation - Mark … · Title: PowerPoint Presentation Author: Lauren Thatcher Created Date: 8/12/2015 11:15:37 AM](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081614/5fc0bb5c9f1ed42f701e79a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Components of Journey Quality(influences on journey)
• Time – walk; wait; journey time; ( interchange? - wait, journey time );walk
• Cost• ‘Comfort’ – weather(!), waiting facility,
journey comfort, information• People value these elements differently ;
young-cost; elderly-walk; better off-time, comfort

Future policy/interventions
• Roads – emphasis now should be on maintenance and strategic regional connections
• Rail – SWIFT ambition of 2 per hour to Valley heads almost realised; bus feeder services to be reinstated/expanded; (NB rail limited to some valleys/communities)
• Bus – major opportunities for service expansion; little public funding for main services currently

Future Policy /interventions
• Single revenue budget to provide better bus and rail services
• Reducing congestion into central Cardiff is only one policy objective
• Improved connectivity/accessibility elsewhere needs to be incorporated
• Keeping fares low is a policy option

Delivery
• Partnership model essential- formerly Mid/South Glamorgan; SWIFT; Sewta – with operators and WO/WG funding
• Democratic remit- partnership of WG/LA elected representatives or PTA model – policy/delivery vacuum at present
• Valley communities must have a major representation
