Liverpool City Council is looking for suitable organisations to submit proposals to implement and operate its second transport hub. The proposed scheme will be located in the Speke/Garston area of Liverpool and will be modelled on the scheme currently operating in North Liverpool.
The transport hub is to be set up within a community setting to link people to economic opportunity and remove transport barriers. The promotion of ‘smarter choices’ will support this work through improving accessibility, health and social inclusion by reducing congestion and pollution. The project will deliver a programme of bike rides and led walks, train volunteers and develop initiatives to increase bike ownership. It will also seek to remove transport barriers such as low travel horizons, limited confidence and/or experience, difficulty in interpreting public transport information and distribution of travel passes with the aim of maximising the ability of local residents to use transport to access essential opportunities and services (employment, education, skills and training).
The transport hub must complement current policy frameworks and objectives and should build on successful work undertaken in the Cycle Speke Project 2009-2011.
This will be up to a 2 year contract for one provider of the South Liverpool Transport Hub and associated activities.
