The appraisal and development of transport schemes plays a critical role in informing decision makers on the relative merit or priority of a transport scheme or programme. Transport Scheme Appraisals can range from greenways to large metro projects. The outputs of an appraisal generally form an essential input to a business case and/or a grant or loan application. Transport appraisals are undertaken in accordance with the relevant documents: DTTAS’s Common Appraisal Framework for Transport Projects and Programmes, DfT’s Transport Analysis Guidance, and/or the EU’s Guide to Cost-Benefit Analysis of Investment Projects.
