PIPKIN

Every year Kent Highway Services receives lots of scheme requests from all over the county, They are from people who are looking for investment and inclusion in our annual Transportation and Safety Package Programme. Unfortunately there are too many proposals for the funding we have available.

The 2008/09 programme was a milestone in determining Kent's local transport priorities and establishing local investment programmes, as it was devised using Kent's new Scheme Prioritisation Method, PIPKIN.

The introduction of PIPKIN (Prioritising Investments Programmes for Kent's Integrated Network) requires all transport scheme proposals to be subjected to a formal assessment and prioritised in accordance with their likely impact and wider contribution towards Kent's strategic and local transport objectives.
