Schedule 9 TRANSPORT INDICATORS

Indicator Number	Description of indicator	Details of indicator
1	Cost of highway maintenance per 100 km travelled by a vehicle on principal roads.	This indicator is to be calculated by using the figure for transport capital expenditure contained in the financial return made to the Secretary of State under section 168(1) on the Capital Outturn form (COR1)^f1 and adding the figures for structural maintenance and routine maintenance contained in the financial return for the same year made under the same section of the 1972 Act on the “Revenue Outturn form” (RO2)^f2 and dividing the result by the figure for vehicle kilometrage derived from Table A of that year’s Revenue Support Grant settlement^f3 multipled by 100. In this indicator, “principal road” shall have the same meaning as in section 12 of the Highways Act 1980^f4.
2	Cost per passenger journey of subsidised bus services.	For the definition of “local bus services” see section 2 of the Transport Act 1985. This indicator is to be calculated by dividing the figure for net expenditure on subsidy of local bus services contained in the financial return made to the Secretary of State under section 168(1) of the Local Government Act 1972 on the “Revenue Outturn form 2” (RO2) by the number of passenger journeys on those services in that year. For the purposes of this calculation, the expenditure on concessionary fare schemes under sections 93 to 105 of the Transport Act 1985 shall be excluded.
3	Average cost of maintaining street lights.	This indicator is to be calculated by dividing the figure for the total cost of maintaining street lights as specified in the financial return made to the Secretary of State under section 168(1) of the Local Government Act 1972 on the “Revenue Outturn form 2” (RO2), by the number of street lights in the authority’s area.
4	Condition of principal roads.	In this indicator, “principal roads” shall have the same meaning as in indicator 1 of this Schedule. The information used is that contained in the guidance issued by the DETR entitled “Best Value Road Condition Surveys for Local Highway Authorities”^f5.
5	Condition of non-principal classified roads.	“Non-principal classified road” means a road which has been classified under the provisions of section 12 of the Highways Act 1980, but is not a principal road. The information used is that contained in the guidance issued by the DETR entitled “Best Value Road Condition Surveys for Local Highway Authorities”.
6	Percentage of street lamps not working as planned.	This indicator is to be calculated by using the formula— $\frac{(W \times Y)}{Z} \times 100,$ where— a W is the total number of streetlight failures detected in a year by regular inspections and other reports divided by 365; b Y is the average time taken to repair a streetlight following detection plus half the average time between inspections (expressed in days); c Z is the total number of street lights in the authority.
7	Road safety.	This indicator is to be determined by calculating the number of road accident casualties per 100,000 of the authority’s population divided into categories depending on nature of casualties and road user type, where— (a) The nature of casualties categories are, killed, seriously injured and slight injuries; and (b) the road user types are pedestrians, pedal cyclists, two-wheeled motor vehicle users, car users and other vehicle users. The information used is that relating to the calendar year ending 15 months prior to the relevant 31st March.
8	Number of days of temporary traffic controls or road closure on traffic sensitive roads caused by authority road works per kilometre of traffic sensitive road.	The total number of days temporary traffic controls (manual or by traffic lights) were in place on traffic sensitive roads or the road was closed, due to authority road works per km of traffic sensitive roads. For the purposes of this indicator, traffic controls at road works that were completed in less than a day are to be excluded. In this indicator “Traffic Sensitive” has the same meaning as in Regulation 13 of the Streetworks (Registers, Notices, Directions and Designations) Regulations 1992^f6.
9	Local bus services (vehicle kilometres per year).	The total annual distance in kilometres covered by local buses within the area of the authority.
10	Local bus services (passenger journeys per year).	The total number of passenger journeys made annually on local buses within the area of the authority.
11	Percentage of users satisfied with local provision of public transport information.	This percentage is determined using the survey requirements specified for the Best Value Performance Indicator Number 103 (BVPI103) in Chapter 14 of Volume One of the DETR’s document entitled “Best Value and Audit Commission Performance Indicators for 2000/2001”^f7.
12	Percentage of users satisfied with local bus services.	This percentage is determined using the survey requirements specified for the Best Value Performance Indicator Number 104 (BVPI104) in Chapter 14 of Volume One of the DETR’s document entitled “Best Value and Audit Commission Performance Indicators for 2000/2001”.
13	Damage to roads and pavements.	Total number of reported incidents of dangerous damage to roads and pavements repaired or made safe within 24 hours from the time that the authority first became aware of the damage, as a percentage of such incidents.
