Network St Albans has been developed from the work of the St Albans Quality Network Partnership (QNP). The QNP is a newly-formed body comprising Hertfordshire County Council, St Albans City & District Council, St Albans Chamber of Commerce, University of Hertfordshire and local bus and train operating companies. (For a full list of partner organisations click here)
The main aim of the QNP is to achieve improvements to local passenger transport services for those who live and work in St Albans and the surrounding area, thereby providing viable alternatives to car use and promoting sustainable travel. This has been possible through the financial support which has been obtained from the Department for Transport specifically for this project.
Among the objectives of the QNP are to provide:
- Truly integrated passenger transport
- Better accessibility for the disabled
- Improved reliability and punctuality
- Enhanced frequency of service
- Better quality travel information
- Encouragement to use other non-car modes of travel e.g. walking and cycling
