“Impact evaluation has been a significant part of recent work by TAS, with both the commercial bus and community transport
sector. Operators increasingly need to justify and lobby for funding support for their work against a more robust evidence base of
outcomes.

“The role of passenger transport in rural areas is under greater scrutiny as subsidies for such services are being
increasingly reduced due to local authority austerity measures. TAS believes that this was the first time a rural branch line has been
subject to such a valuation study.”
