| IDeA guidance: | To fulfil the requirements of this outcome, councils should work with their local transport providers to provide access to web-based transport information. The outcome should also be incorporated in a way that supports local travel policy in relation to the national shared priority of meeting local transport needs more effectively, e.g. supporting the use of public transport, raising awareness of cycle routes.
As a minimum, the system should provide access to timetables and real-time information on any service disruption for local bus services and principal rail services. Information must also include a link to the Transport Direct website (http://www.transportdirect.info).
Whilst the system should be web-based and may be provided by a transport partner, the interface should be available to all call-handling staff and should be an intrinsic part of the main council website, although deep links to third-party sites will be acceptable if more integrated solutions are not possible.
Due to the way that transport infrastructure runs across council borders, councils may well wish to provide these services via local partnerships. |
