Abstract
The aim of the paper is to provide a number of recommendations for use of transport and land use planning models in the formulation of local transport plans. It is based on a study of Local Transport Plans (LTPs) in England. LTPs are required by central government (Department for Transport) as part of its process of allocating funds to local authorities. The first round of LTPs (for which 85 authorities submitted plans) was carried out in 1999-2000 and the next round will be required in 2005. Authorities are also required to produce Annual Progress Reports (APRs) summarising the progress made towards meeting the objectives laid out in the LTP. The research was carried out in two stages, the first being a review of current guidance, publicly available Local Transport Plans and other relevant material, the second being a series of case study interviews with five local authorities. From these two processes a number of recommendations on modelling requirements and use of models were put forward classified by the size of the local authority
