What is the best way to maintain and develop the software suite that supports the development of business cases, such as Transport Users Benefit Appraisal (TUBA) and Wider Impacts in Transport Appraisal (WITA)? What is the best avenue to communicate the Department’s methodologies to stakeholders?

Background

The improve transport for the user strategic priority is critical in ensuring the department delivers and maintains a transport system that meets the needs of the public and addresses what they care about most. It puts the needs and expectations of current and potential users (both passengers and freight customers) at the heart of the operation of the transport system and considers about end-to-end journeys, not just individual transport modes. It is focused on ensuring that our infrastructure and the services which use it meet the varied needs of businesses and the public, are attractive, affordable, sustainable, and resilient is a crucial goal for the department.
