Heathrow Area Transport Forum – Background
• Heathrow Area Transport Forum is a partnership between organisations in the
  private and public sectors with a shared goal of improving accessibility and
  increasing public transport use to and from the airport and the surrounding
  area.
• Operates in line with guidance set out by the DfT in their Aviation Policy
  Framework 2013.
• Board representatives include HAL, Airlines, Unions, Local Authorities, Local
  Enterprise Partnership, London First, Freight and Logistics operators,
  Cycling and active travel advocates, Transport Focus, Coach and Bus
  Operators, National Highways and Network Rail.
• The board meets 4-5 times a year, we initiate a range of Special Interest
  Groups where required, and also hold a wider forum at least annually.

                                                                            Page5

Surface Access Strategy 2022-2026

•   We are developing our Two Runway SAS for our next regulatory period
    (2022-2026) with input from stakeholders.

•   We plan to publish our 2R SAS in early-2022, subject to CAA approval of our
    Revised Business Plan.

•   Potential interventions fit into four categories.

      1      Providing improved connections and facilities

      2      Providing improved awareness of options

      3      Managing demand for other modes

      4      Planning for delivery in the long term (post-2026)

STZ overview / update
The new Sustainable Travel Zone (STZ) will start to restore some of the
benefits for colleagues and passengers that were lost in 2021, due to the
ending of Heathrow’s funding. We have identified five key design principles:

    1    Data Led

    2    Effective in delivering mode shift and resulting environmental benefits

    3    Scalable

    4    Easy to use

    5    Equitable

These have informed a set of initial proposals that are designed to be built
upon, with the intention of the STZ in the future being better than how things
were pre-Covid (subject to budget and negotiations with partner organisations).
Classification: Public

STZ overview / update
We will initially focus on a range of initiatives serving the areas where
most colleagues live. These will be designed to encourage colleagues to
walk, cycle or use public transport.

• Priority 1 – ensure existing public transport operates at the times
  required by all colleagues
• Priority 2 – improve active travel options for those living close enough
  to walk or cycle
• Priority 3 – campus connectivity (to support travel during the working
  day and for first mile / last mile)
• Priority 4 – discounted travel
• Priority 5 – new or significantly improved services

Passengers travelling to and from the areas where improvements are
made will also benefit.
