Monitoring Efficiency and Delivery of the Road Investment Strategy - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Monitoring Efficiency and Delivery of the Road Investment Strategy Richard Coates, Deputy Director, Highways 23 April 2019 “ORR protects the interests of rail and road users, improving the safety, value and performance of railways and roads today and in the future”

2 Office of Rail and Road Highways functions Holding Highways England to account for delivering Advising on the next RIS the current RIS Efficiency Challenging Monitoring delivery of Monitoring motorway and enhancements trunk road performance Deliverable Monitoring delivery of Securing value for Future maintenance and renewals money performance Advising and assisting Making sure the road government on roads issues network meets user needs

3 Our monitoring of the current RIS Incentivise better Reporting of outcomes for road users performance and taxpayers Benchmarking In-depth reviews of specific areas

4 Transparent reporting RAG Outcome Key Performance Indicator and target Performance in 2017-18 2017-18 Killed and seriously injured (KSI) 2017 figures delayed to September 2018. Killed Making the network safer Amber or seriously injured increased by 12% in 2016. Target: 40% reduction by end of 2020 Road user satisfaction Improving user satisfaction 88.7% satisfaction. Remains below 90% target. Amber Target: 90% by March 2017 Network availability 98.3% availability. Remains above target, Green although slightly down from 98.4% in 2016-17. Target: 97% lane availability in any one rolling year Supporting the smooth flow of traffic Incident clearance 87.9% cleared within one hour. Remains above Green target, and improved from 85.9% last year. Target: 85% of motorway incidents cleared within one hour Average delay (seconds per vehicle mile) 9.2 seconds delay per vehicle mile, an increase of Encouraging economic growth Amber 0.2 seconds from 2016-17. Target: No target set Noise important areas mitigated 448 mitigated during the year, brining the total Delivering better environmental for the road period to 651. Improved delivery Green Target: Mitigate at least 1,150 noise important areas by during 2017-18. 2020 outcomes Improved biodiversity Management plans produced for 15 SSSIs, Green bringing the total for the road period to 30. Target: Publish biodiversity action plan Helping cyclists, walkers, and other Number of new and upgraded crossings 28 new and 72 upgraded crossing delivered in Amber 2017-18. vulnerable users Target: No target set Capital expenditure savings £226m of efficiencies reported in 2017-18. £486m in RIS1 to date, which is 40% of the Amber Target: Total savings of at least £1.212 billion on capital target. Achieving real efficiency expenditure by 2019-20 Progress of work, relative to delivery plan Work started on 8 schemes (target of 7). 8 Green schemes open to traffic (target of 9). Target: No target set Pavement condition 95.2% requires no further investigation. Keeping the network in good condition Green Performance improved after target missed in Target: 95% of pavement requiring no further investigation 2016-17. for possible maintenance

5 Regional performance against select KPIs in 2017-18

6 Our role in the RIS2 process Advice on the right balance Efficiency between opportunities challenge and deliverability Are Highways England’s efficiency plans deliverable Embedding lessons learnt from RIS1

7 Our role in RIS2 DfT HE Draft Final SBP SRN Initial ORR consultation Strategic and HE Report and Efficiency Final RIS response / Business Delivery consultation Review Draft RIS Plan Plan 2017 2018 2019 2020 October 2018 Draft RIS and SRN consultation response Spring 2019 Production of ORR Efficiency Review , advising on whether Highways England’s draft plans are challenging and deliverable

8 Our approach to the Efficiency Review Operating efficiency savings in Efficiency performance in Road Period 1 comparable sectors Review of HE’s plans Capability reviews Bench- Capability improvements to drive marking Roadworks benchmarking efficiencies RIS1 delivery ORR’s Efficiency Review

9 RIS2 priorities for 2019 ■ Building the evidence – Looking at productivity opportunities in the sector – Reviewing opportunities for innovation ■ Reviewing Highways England’s plans 2018-19 – Sampling Highways England’s expenditure proposals – Reviewing the evidence behind efficiency assumptions ■ Learning lessons from RIS1 – Reviewing Highways England’s approach to scheme cost estimation – How risk is managed across the portfolio
