MIDLAND METRO: MONITORING THE IMPACTS
In 1998 Centro, in conjunction with local authorities, DETR and Altram, commissioned a monitoring study for Line 1 of Midland Metro from Birmingham to Wolverhampton. This paper describes the reasons behind the monitoring programme, the techniques employed and the emerging results. The initial sections of the paper describe the nature of the funding package, and the consequent requirements for monitoring. The monitoring techniques are described in turn, and the results of each summarised. Key conclusions to be drawn from each element of the monitoring programme will be discussed. Observed changes in travel behaviour will be presented including the proportion of ex-rail, car and bus users attracted to the system. Finally, the paper describes need for continuous monitoring, and the value of the monitoring programme in informing future investment decisions, particularly the development of further light rail lines in the West Midlands.
