Private HIre Vehicles (PHVs) in Bus Lanes
Purpose of Report
The purpose of the report is to address the concerns raised by the Scrutiny Management Panel, who reviewed the decision taken by the Cabinet Member for Transport on 24 October 2024 to not approve extending authorisation for Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs) licensed by Portsmouth City Council (PCC) to use additional bus lanes, and to outline proposed next steps.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that the Cabinet Member for Transport:
1. Notes the information included in Section 4 of this report in response to concerns raised by the Scrutiny Management Panel at its 11 November 2024 meeting and reaffirms the validity of the decision that was taken by the Cabinet Member for Transport on 24 October 2024.
2. Notes that following investigation by officers, it is likely to be feasible to enable PCC licensed PHV access to two additional bus lanes, Cosham Interchange and Northern Road, through synergies with delivery of the Council's emerging Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) programme.
3. Approves the further feasibility work and, if feasible, subsequent delivery of PCC licensed PHV access to the Cosham Interchange and Northern Road bus lanes, noting that Project Management and indicative £71,500 cost of the works will be funded from the BSIP programme.
