The effectiveness of accessibility planning in Second Local Transport Plans (LTPs) will rely on the partnerships that are developed between local authority transport planners, land use planners, representatives of the key local service providers (Primary Care Trusts, Jobcentre Plus, Local Education Authorities etc) and other local bodies.

For example solutions such as co-ordination of opening times, or relocation of services might prove to be a more effective solution than the alteration of bus-routes and time tables. Accession software will help you answer these questions.'
