1 Indicators of transportation impact

To measure the impact of transportation on economic development, one of the first steps is to identify the relevant indicators that reflect the objectives and outcomes of transportation systems. These indicators include accessibility, which is the ease and convenience of reaching destinations, markets, and opportunities; mobility, which is the movement of people and goods over space and time; efficiency, which is the ratio of outputs to inputs such as travel time, cost, fuel consumption, and emissions; reliability, which is the consistency and predictability of travel conditions and service quality; safety, which is the level of risk and harm associated with transportation activities; and equity, which is the distribution of benefits and burdens of transportation among different groups and regions.

The coach industry is doing its best to run low emission vehicles but manufacturers and structure is not in place. COVID support for coaches was not given as other industries like bus and tourism, which rely on coaches. It is already the greenest way to travel with passengers compared to car, train, plane. The costs per passenger is normally cheaper. No transferring at bus or train stations. It’s normally all the way almost door to door. PSVAR already operators have, but demand low. Drivers more friendly to help the less mobile and with hidden disabilities. Looking after a group more personally than any other transport.

2 Methods of transportation impact analysis

Once you have selected the indicators, you need to choose the appropriate methods to collect, analyze, and interpret the data. Transportation impact analysis can vary depending on the scope, scale, and purpose of the study, but cost-benefit analysis, economic impact analysis, social impact analysis, multi-criteria analysis, and scenario analysis are all common methods. Cost-benefit analysis compares the monetary costs and benefits of transportation projects or policies. Economic impact analysis estimates the direct and indirect effects of transportation on employment, income, output, and value added. Social impact analysis assesses the non-monetary effects on health, well-being, culture, and environment. Multi-criteria analysis evaluates transportation alternatives based on multiple criteria and weights. Lastly, scenario analysis explores the possible outcomes of transportation under different assumptions and conditions.

To much analysis going on. To many government funded bodies that some do the same thing. Common sense seems to have gone astray. Polices being made by theses people who do not understand the difference of coach and bus. How operating theses vehicles are different from any other type of business and normally not great big global companies but family run firms. Most socially way of travelling and meeting people. Safeties way of travelling, either single or in small parties or one group. Coaches help the economy to grow bring people to spend money in different areas. The government should realise that small SME make this country what it is. The “big” companies when they “go” makes a bigger impact in areas.

3 Challenges of transportation performance measurement

Measuring the impact of transportation on economic development is not without challenges, such as data availability and quality, causality and attribution, trade-offs and synergies, and stakeholder involvement and communication. Obtaining reliable, timely, and comprehensive data on transportation and economic variables can be difficult and costly. Establishing the causal relationship and attributing the effects of transportation to economic development can be complex and uncertain. Balancing the conflicting and complementary goals and impacts of transportation can be challenging and subjective. Engaging and informing relevant stakeholders and decision-makers can also be demanding and sensitive.

Due to coaches being run by family or small SME, that lots are not even members of Federations like CPT, UKCOA, RHA(C) figures will be guess work and only held my theses organisations and their surveys by their members. Normally members are just to involved in running their day to day business. They do not have the time or resources to give figures to surveys. Yet all theses companies are needed by not only the general public, but authorities, government departments, companies gif their staff and corporate customers coming to do business. Development of coach company’s start with having enough “drivers” without them there is no industry and problem start arising, as now already being affected is school curriculum transport

4 Benefits of transportation performance measurement

Measuring the impact of transportation on economic development can bring many benefits for transportation management, such as accountability and transparency, learning and improvement, innovation and adaptation, and collaboration and coordination. Demonstrating the results and impacts of investments and interventions can help identify the strengths and weaknesses of transportation systems and policies, as well as discover new opportunities and solutions for challenges. Additionally, fostering dialogue and cooperation among different transportation actors and sectors can be beneficial.

Weakness starts with licence tests to be a professional driver, whether it’s PSV, HGV as tests to name at least one is the “Hazard Perception” Have to do this for each sector. Why? No student or university grants given to individuals who want to take their licence and cannot afford it. Could be stopped like student grants. Even for a young person to learn to drive, a student loan that is stopped out of their wages straight away. Would be paid back quickly. Theses young people can then get to a place of work, or become like a delivery driver, who then might like to become a HGV or PSV driver. This will help young unskilled workers into other industries as well. They can get to the factory sites etc. All would bring growth in the community.

To effectively answer all the paragraphs above you need more space to answer them. You are only going to get snippets from everyone. All the above is just to much to put in text form. Transport management is doing pretty good, if we did not have so many government and authorities trying to make it more difficult than necessary.

Get members of the DWP, Transport, Education MP together in a meeting with a group of bus and coach operator. Hopefully a half and half split. Even HGV to here it from the SME. Large BUS operators have in house training but if government will listen then those will get help also, release money from training to implement new environment changes
