To help meet the commitments as stated above this council calls on both the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Highways Management to:

 

·        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.
