RAIL FRANCHISING AND INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AUTHORITIES

That this House supports the principle that decisions on local transport issues are best decided locally; notes the intent of the Local Transport Act 2008 further to devolve transport decision-making via the Passenger Transport Executives (PTEs) and Integrated Transport Authorities (ITAs); commends the six PTEs for the way in which they have provided long-term support and investment for local rail networks and for the responsible way in which they have used their franchise powers when allowed to do so by the Department for Transport; regrets that the Department for Transport's report, Future of Rail Franchising, failed to acknowledge in any way the potential future role of PTEs and ITAs in the specification and management of rail franchises; and expresses its concern that the consequence of this failure could be a lost opportunity to ensure that local heavy rail networks are fully integrated with wider public transport provision for the 11 million people who live in the metropolitan areas.
