Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what they intend the baseline measures to be for each of the headline metrics in Better Connected: a strategy for integrated transport, published on 2 April.

Better Connected sets this Government’s vision for people-focussed transport, supported by 40 new commitments to be delivered during this Parliament. Timescales and delivery milestones vary by commitment and will be monitored through the Department's internal governance process.

The strategy also sets out a framework for monitoring progress using headline metrics linked to the eight priorities. Baseline measures for these metrics are being developed to ensure they are robust and aligned with local transport authority outcome frameworks, where possible, drawing on a combination of existing national data sources and new primary data collection.

Further detail will be provided through a progress update in due course.
