The availability of coordinated transport service across different modes and operators will provide more opportunities for seamless journey, reducing interchanges and providing clear RTI and bus usage. This is particularly important due to the rural makeup of the County; modal integration will help users in areas of rural isolation and social exclusion.

������ϲ�����ͼ�� County Council will therefore continue to work towards seamless modal integration through.

In April 2004, Worcester was selected by Department for Transport as a Sustainable Travel Demonstration Town The aim of the programme was to achieve a shift from single‐ occupancy car use to sustainable modes of travel and to relieve congestion.  

Smarter Choices measures were combined with service and infrastructure improvements and this was branded as Choose how you move. The programme offered improved public transport infrastructure, cycle routes and pedestrian access, plus a variety of incentives and personalised travel advice.

Choose how you move in Worcester City ran successfully in 2004 – 2009. Initial evaluations in 2008 showed an 11% increase in walking journeys, a 19% increase in cycling journeys, 7% decrease in car journeys and 20% increase in bus use.

Sustained Marketing and communications as well as successful branding were critical elements to CHYM and ������ϲ�����ͼ�� BSIP aims to replicate previous successes for Worcester City and Redditch across the whole County.
