Publisher's Synopsis
This new Evidence and Research Strategy takes a fresh look at the Department for Transport's priorities and practices, and sets out how it plans to obtain the robust and timely evidence needed to address the significant challenges in delivering policies. The strategy is organised around a number of key themes which reflect the policy priorities of the Department: reducing road congestion; achieving sustainability; health, safety and security; improving public transport; facilitating social inclusion; promoting consumer choice and managing the UK's transport assets effectively. The strategy is forward looking and sets out what the Department sees as the key evidence gaps and priorities. These priorities will be reflected in the Department's research programmes over the next few years.
