DaSTS Regional Study

The Government report Delivering a Sustainable Transport System (DaSTS) explained how the government's approach to long term transport planning, set out in Towards a Sustainable Transport System, would be put into action. Its stated aims were to tackle immediate problems and to shape the transport system to meet longer term challenges. The Government also published draft guidance on the work that regions were invited to undertake to influence decisions on transport investment from 2014 onwards.

Four West Midlands regional DaSTS studies were produced. Each study has a different spatial focus, but were all linked as they considered the impact of future travel demand derived from the scale of growth identified in regional planning policy.

The regional DaSTS Growth Point Connectivity - considered Hereford's role as a designated Growth Point for future development. It considered low-cost, specific and innovative sustainable transport interventions to address the transport issues associated with this growth, including smarter choices and initiatives to influence travel behaviour.
