Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether Active Travel England requires local authorities to reconcile differences between published promotional material and baseline traffic counts contained within Outline and Full Business Cases.

There is no requirement from Active Travel England for authorities to publish information on traffic counts. Active Travel England provides guidance on appraisal and monitoring and evaluation of active travel schemes to authorities. For transparency purposes, many authorities publish information on traffic counts as part of local engagement activities when developing new schemes.
