About multi-modal studies
Multi-modal studies (MMS) represent a significant new approach to developing integrated transport strategies, examining how all modes can contribute to developing long term solutions to some of the country's most severe transport problems. The studies use the New Approach to Appraisal (NATA) to develop and evaluate alternative options, as set out in the Government's Guidance on the Methodology for Multi-Modal Studies (GOMMMS). A key element of this framework is consulting widely with local and regional interests to ensure their views and knowledge feed into the study process.
