Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what(a) guidance has been given by his Department and (b) legislation is in place with regard to the methodology for multi-modal studies (i) proposals and (ii) assessment; and if he will make a statement. [66311]

Mr. Jamieson

The Department issued Guidance on the Methodology for Multi-Modal Studies (GOMMMS) in March 2000. In addition one errata; two supplementary pieces of GOMMMS guidance; and a report commissioned by the Department on 'Soft Factors Likely To Affect Travel Demand' have been published since that date. All of these documents can be found on the Departmental website at: http://www.roads.dft.gov.uk/roadnetworldheta/hetapubs.htm

There is no legislation in place relating to the methodology for multi-modal studies.

Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) pursuant to his answer of 25 June 2002,Official Report, columns 769–70W, on multi-modal studies, if he will list the (a) number, (b) type, (c) length,(d) expected impact on the numbers of passengers and journeys and (e) expected impacts on congestion and pollution of bus schemes (i) proposed, (ii) accepted and(iii) under way for each of the multi-modal studies that have reported; [66069]

(2) pursuant to his answer of 25 June 2002, Official Report, columns 769–70W, on multi-modal studies, if he will list the (a) number, (b) type, (c) length, (d) expected impact on the numbers of passengers and journeys and freight volume and (e) expected impacts on congestion and pollution of rail schemes (i) proposed, (ii) accepted and (iii) underway for each of the multi-modal studies that have reported. [66073]

Mr. Jamieson

The multi-modal studies are strategic transport studies which examine the contribution that combinations of measures, covering, among other things, roads, rail, public transport and behavioural change initiatives, could make to resolving the transport problems in the study areas. Information about specific measures in isolation is not available in the detail requested and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
