Multi-Modal Studies
What are Multi-Modal Studies?
The Department for Transport's programme of Multi-Modal Studies arose from the Government's A New Deal for Trunk Roads in England, published July 1998. This proposed a series of studies to develop sustainable long-term solutions to problems identified on key parts of the strategic road network.
To implement these studies, in partnership with the Route Management Strategies, a series of Multi Modal Studies were commissioned to consider problems and solutions affecting all modes of travel - hence Multi-Modal. The programme of studies was taken forward by the Government Offices in partnership with Regional Planning Bodies.
The programme of Multi-Modal Studies was announced on 23 March 1999. The areas selected were those identified as experiencing serious problems, particularly on the road network. In practice, the Studies focused on problems on the road, rail and bus systems, including access to ports and airports. The Studies included some analysis of problems of air transport, coastal shipping and inland waterways.
The studies vary considerably in size and complexity. Larger studies cover major strategic transport networks. Smaller studies focus on more specific and localised problems of sufficient importance to warrant detailed examination.
