Highways England commissioned Transport Focus to produce this report to improve its understanding of road user needs for park and ride facilities, and to identify steps which would help improve journeys.

Highways England is currently considering how to apply the report’s recommendations across its network, and how benefits, such as improved air quality will be realised.

Highways England will start the review of park and ride locations in 2021/22.
