Introduction
This is the Commission for Integrated Transport's
(CfIT) second assessment report on progress towards
delivering the 10 Year Transport Plan objectives. More
importantly it also looks forward to the review and
roll forward of the plan that the Department for
Transport (DfT) is undertaking, to address the key
issues that the Commission feels need to be resolved.
The context for the review was set out clearly in the
Government's 10 Year Plan progress report, published
last December. Growth in demand has been far
stronger than has been anticipated, and coupled
with the fact that economic growth is forecast to
remain high over the plan period, future levels of
congestion are likely to be higher than anticipated.
It has become clear that delivering enhanced
capacity (particularly for rail) will be considerably
more expensive and time consuming than envisaged,
while the relative price differential between private
and public transport costs has risen far more quickly
than forecast by the 10 Year Plan.
The structure of Government has also changed
significantly since the plan was published; DETR has
been broken up and its responsibilities split between
several departments, primarily the Department for
Transport (DfT), the Office of the Deputy Prime
Minister (ODPM) and the Department for the
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
Given these changes, the Government is quite
correct, in CfIT's view, to review the 10 Year Plan:
this report focuses on the key issues to be addressed.
