As ARTS nears its conclusion, activities turn towards disseminating the key results and experiences from the eight ARTS demonstrations, which have addressed Demand Responsive Transport solutions, Integrated School Transport solutions and Information-Based transport solutions in rural areas across Europe.
A final Conference has been hold jointly between ARTS and the UK Community Transport Association on Thursday 8th September 2004 at Keele Hall, part of the Keele University Campus in Staffordshire, UK. The event, entitled “Integrated Rural Transport Solutions in Europe - A Practical Approach to Planning, Operation and Evaluation of Integrated Transport Systems in Low-Density Rural Areas” has publicised and promoted one of the key project deliverables – the ARTS Handbook. The Handbook and associated Toolbox provide practical advice and report on lessons learnt in the planning, operation and evaluation of integrated rural transport projects based on the ARTS experience.
The Conference, organised by CTA with assistance from Transport & Travel Research Ltd (TTR), has been a very practical event, encouraging sharing of experiences and innovative thinking in order to move forward in developing integrated rural transport solutions.
The Conference has had five key sessions to take delegates through the process of designing and planning, through developing and operating, to evaluating the impacts of integrated transport schemes, with a final plenary session to bring all of the day’s themes together. Technical tours have also be offered on Thursday 8th September, where visits have been made to innovative rural transport schemes.
