The Department for Transport (DfT) is seeking to develop a Transport Resilience Strategy and delivery-focused action plan to support the transport sector to improve its resilience to a range of risks.
Strong resilience means that we are better prepared to prevent incidents before they happen, mitigate the impact when they do and respond in a robust, coordinated manner when called upon. Given the number of different risks we face, we are committed to making the sector as resilient as possible. To ensure the strategy and delivery plan will be effective and targeted at the right areas to increase resilience, the Transport Resilience Team want to hear from you.
They are keen to understand:
- the risks that most affect you
- the capabilities and mechanisms you currently have in place to tackle them
- how we can best support you and the wider sector to improve our resilience even further
This survey is seeking your views on your organisation’s transport resilience capabilities, including current strengths, gaps and areas for improvement. The evidence you provide will help DfT develop the Transport Resilience Strategy and Delivery Plan to increase resilience across the transport sector.
The capability assessment survey aims to review the transport sector’s resilience capabilities, It is one of the primary ways in which they will be engaging with stakeholders and industry specialists to identify the capabilities already in place, gaps in resilience capabilities, sector confidence and emerging trends and concerns. The survey explores a number of key areas, including:
- Resilience and contingency plans
- Staffing capacity, expertise & skills
- Procurement & outsourcing
- Stockpiles & supply chain
- Government engagement
The survey will take approximately 45 minutes to complete. You do not need to complete it in one sitting, but please press the “save and continue later” option if you need to close the webpage.
If you feel you would benefit from a 1-2-1 discussion to talk through the survey, your responses, or any queries you may have, please email transportresilience@dft.gov.uk and a member of the team will assist you.
We would like to stress that the purpose of this survey is not to assess your organisation individually, but to build a picture of the sector as a whole and identify gaps where the Government can provide support and direction. The information you provide will not be used for any other purpose, and your responses will not be shared further. Personal data collected through this survey is processed in line with DfT’s online forms, surveys and consultations privacy notice.
