The West of England Combined Authority (WECA) Future Transport Zone (FTZ) is a £28m innovation programme aiming to improve the integration of public transport across the West of England. This notice specifically focusses on the Dynamic, Demand Responsive Transport (DDRT) project.
Our vision for DDRT is to offer an alternative additional publicâ¯transport mode, especially in areas whereâ¯traditional modes do not currently presentâ¯as a viable option or service. It is our intention to procure a partner to deliver a complete bespoke DDRT solution and trial within our region. The trial is expected to operate within the Northern Arc, Avonmouth or Southmead areas, with the potential of adding other zones across the course of the trial.
What we expect from our DDRT Service:
A single supplier to run our DDRT trial - likely made up of a partnership between a vehicle operator and technology provider
A small to medium sized fleet which can operate within one of the specified areas
Fleet to be electric or carbon neutral
An innovative DDRT technology platform with a proven track record
An inclusive service offering which allows our residents and visitors to travel with ease
An app-based offering which allows for pre-booked and on-demand journeys
Allows customers to book via an app/ website/ call centre
Clear and simple platform for both customers and drivers
Connection to train stations, bus services and our Mobility Hubs
Integration with our MaaS platform
Integration with our Data Hub project
Co-development, collaboration and data sharing throughout the trial.
Potential to expand to a second trial zone as part of the commission.
