Park and Ride sites are important transport hubs in Oxfordshire helping to reduce the need to drive into Oxford city.

·
Establish a cross-party task force to explore the
viability of making parking at our P&R sites
free.
·
Write to the Leader of Oxford City Council asking
for the city council to join this new task force .
·
Work with public transport providers in
Oxfordshire to establish a Park & Ride improvement
plan
· Continue working within the Enhanced Bus Partnership (EHP) to make Park & Ride (P&R) more attractive than driving into the city centre
· Work with the public transport providers, City and District Councils through EHP to plan the future of P&R, including discussing freight consolidation, shared transport, bike and scooter hire, tourist coaches, and high frequency services beyond the city.
