Total Transport: Feasibility Report & Pilot Review

This document describes an evaluation of the Total Transport pilot schemes, which were funded with £7.6 million by the Department for Transport to test the integration of various transport services in rural England. The evaluation is based on participant reports and covers the progress up to the 2016/17 financial year. Total Transport aims to streamline transport services commissioned by different government agencies to improve efficiency and service effectiveness. The evaluation found that while financial savings were achieved and services improved, challenges included engaging with the health sector and adapting to existing legal frameworks. The pilots demonstrated the importance of local knowledge, engagement, and the need for tailored approaches. Barriers to participation were identified, particularly in engaging with the health sector and data sharing. The document also discusses the continuation of schemes beyond the funding period, the impact on users, and the lessons learned, emphasizing the potential for long-term benefits and the need for more NHS involvement. Some regions plan to continue their initiatives using their own resources, and the document suggests that project funding, while helpful, is not essential for adopting Total Transport principles. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
