Transport for the South East
An interactive tool to display schemes across the region and guide users through each sub region
In October 2023, TfSE launched the interactive StoryMap which enables users to easily search for schemes within their area and to discover how they will improve their everyday journeys. The tool was developed by Steer as part of the transport consultancy framework.
The Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) for south east England provides a framework for investment in strategic transport infrastructure, services, and regulatory interventions from now to 2050. The StoryMap sets out the background and global policies, and then allows a geographic based exploration of the 24 place-based packages across the region.
The map works hand-in-hand with TfSE’s recently published Delivery Action Plan which identifies the interventions on which progress will likely be made in the next three years. For these schemes, the plan identifies who will lead the work and how TfSE can support them. The Story Map, developed soon after the SIP, is an easy tool to use to help users find the interventions displayed in the SIP. It is as easy as typing in your hometown, for example, Burgess Hill and seeing a list of interventions within that area.
“Over the last three years, a vast amount of time went into working with our partners and stakeholders across the region to figure out where investment was needed to deliver our Transport Strategy vision.
As we put our Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) into action, the Story Map will help show exactly which interventions are being delivered in each area. The map is a useful tool for anyone that needs to find that information quickly.”
In September 2024, the British Cartographic Society recognized this map in their 2024 Avenza Award category for electronic mapping.
