Good access to key services is becoming ever more important
and
the tools and techniques needed to measure accessibility are now
essential components of transport planning.
Improving accessibility is a fundamental means of reducing
social exclusion for all those people who do not have a car
available for their journeys. Robust and reliable accessibility
planning techniques are essential to improve access to
employment opportunities, health and educational services
and to shopping and leisure facilities.
As developers of ACCESSION, we are uniquely
placed to help. ACCESSION is the new software we provided to the
Department
for Transport (DfT) for use in Accessibility Planning activities.
We can assist local transport authorities, transport
partnerships,
health trusts and education authorities to develop robust
ACCESSION models to plan for access to key services. We can
also provide the software as well as training in its use.
Increasingly we find that developers and their planning consultants
as well as estate managers need our assistance to plan public
transport access to developments and to demonstrate that their
plans meet accessibility criteria.
