We helped West Sussex County Council and its partners
to obtain the public funding needed to build 'Fastway', a high quality
bus priority and guided bus scheme. Phase 1 opened in September 2003,
with all routes expected to be fully operational by 2006. One of
the key benefits is the reduction of car dependency among Gatwick
Airport employees. With services operating at 5-20 minute intervals
seven days a week for up to 20 hours per day, Fastway is attractive
not just to local residents and air passengers, but also to the thousands
of airport employees living in the local area.
Our involvement with 'Fastway' began with the
feasibility study in association with Kennedy and Donkin. Our subsequent
Appraisal
Report provided enhanced economic analysis to confirm the scheme's
robustness and financial viability. We also evaluated the environmental,
safety, integration and accessibility elements of the appraisal.
As well helping attract £10m of public sector funding towards
the £35 million scheme, we confirmed the business case to
secure private investment from operators and other investors.
