Future Transport Zones evaluation
About the study
We have been commissioned by the Department for Transport (DfT) to carry out the national evaluation of the Future Transport Zones (FTZ) programme. The FTZ programme involves innovative transport interventions being trialled in four areas of the country: the West Midlands, Derby and Nottingham, the West of England and the Solent area (Southampton, Portsmouth and Hampshire).
The national evaluation aims to bring together cross-cutting insights from local evaluations being conducted in each FTZ area about how to design and implement successful interventions.
As part of the national evaluation and to complement research activities taking place locally, NatCen will be conducting primary data collection as part of a longitudinal Implementation and Process Evaluation (IPE) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) case study over the course of the FTZ programme.
The aim of the IPE is to explore how the FTZ programme is being implemented in each area, in order to understand what has gone well and what has proved challenging, and to capture lessons learnt throughout the process.
The MaaS case study will focus on the delivery of MaaS schemes in each of the four areas and the associated data infrastructure that underpin them. This case study will involve research with the general public as well as interviews with those who have been working on delivering MaaS in each area. This case study will explore each area’s strategic approach to MaaS, the back-end development alongside public attitudes and users’ experiences once the service is launched.
