Monitoring Framework
Mandatory and headline indicators will be reported to the DfT in the LTP2 Progress Reports, and used to assess our performance in delivering the desired outcomes. We have defined a range around each indicator’s trajectory to recognise statistical variability and within which we can reasonably regard an indicator to be on track.
A full annual
- Subsidiary indicators. We will make use of these to examine the trends in headline indicators in more detail, so that we understand the reasons behind both successful and unsuccessful outcomes. Subsidiary indicators will consist of a mix of output and outcome indicators. We will produce an annual performance report presenting the indicators and appraising our performance.
- Local indicators. Individual authorities or partners will use these indicators to provide a more focused assessment of local performance. Typically they will be a subset of headline or subsidiary indicator data.
- Scheme indicators. We will use these to measure the performance of specific schemes or projects, to assess their local impact, and the feasibility for extending any new technique to other areas. The results of scheme monitoring will be fed back into work programme development, and shared between authorities. Major scheme proposals contain details of such indicators.
- Contextual indicators. In many cases, especially regarding public transport patronage and traffic related outcome indicators, we expect the performance
of the economy to have a major influence. We will therefore need to monitor the context surrounding our LTP outcomes in order
to understand them properly, and differentiate between the effect of our interventions and wider factors. Local productivity
and
employment levels will be monitored.
