Purpose
The Appraisal, Modelling, and Evaluation Strategy (AMES) is receiving its first analytical update since its launch in 2019. It will set out the Department’s priorities for improving the Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG) over the next five years, so that it better reflects the full social costs and benefits of transport schemes, from fixing pavements to building runways. As part of the process of updating and improving TAG we want to listen to feedback from decision and policy makers on the current analytical framework to ensure it is fit-for-purpose in delivering the objectives of elected leaders.
The survey is anonymous. We have included some simple classification questions at the start so that we can understand the types of organisation you work for and the type of role you hold.
How this survey is structured

How we will process your answers
Your answers will only be seen by the Department for Transport's AMES engagement team.
Your answers may be analysed and summarised using technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI). The data may also be used for the purposes of trialling and developing certain AI solutions. Data will only be used to develop AI models where the models are hosted on systems that are under our control. We will not allow your answers to go outside of those systems.
