Key to understanding the feasibility of a lane rental scheme is the identification of a lane rental network. GeoPlace has developed a tool to identify an initial network based on bringing several datasets together from local and national sources.
Using the identified lane rental network we identify the likely operating costs and benefits of a potential Lane Rental Scheme. The Feasibility Report will detail options for operating models that reflect the impact to the network and the existing permit scheme, to ensure a proposed scheme provides value for money and net benefits to road users and society.
