Passenger Information in Enhanced Partnership Areas - Bus Stops and Safety

We've gone online, this session looks at Oxfordshire’s bus stop audit and Using information to make journeys safer for women and girls

Enhanced Partnerships (EPs) provide a powerful framework for improving passenger information across local bus networks, but what can authorities and operators realistically achieve, and what is already being delivered in practice?

These online webinars will explore how Enhanced Partnerships are being used to drive improvements in passenger information, from bus stops and real-time displays through to digital channels, accessibility initiatives, disruption information, and network-wide consistency. Attendees will hear directly from practitioners about the opportunities available within EP arrangements and the practical steps being taken to deliver better information for passengers.

This session focuses on bus stops and safety which are intrinsicly linked.

4,000 Stops Later: What We Learned and What Comes Next: Turning bus stop data into insight, investment, and action

Stuart Kocan-Payne, Oxfordshire County Council

What happens when you take a detailed look at more than 4,000 bus stops? We’ll explore what Oxfordshire’s bus stop audit revealed, how the data is being turned into a practical tool for prioritising improvements, and the new workstreams emerging from it, from accessibility and investment to making better information available to passengers.

Using information to make journeys safer for women and girls

Jocelyn Elleby

I'll look at how passenger information, from real-time tracking and on-board announcements to timetables at stops, can reduce fear and build confidence. I'll provide a particular focus on rural areas where alerts, triage and response look very different. I'll close with a practical, tiered guide setting out what authorities and operators can implement and the outcomes to expect.
