This is an innovative Park and Ride facility on the outskirts of Leeds which meets all the normal requirements such as improved public transport infrastructure, reduced traffic congestion, reduced air pollution. However what makes this facility both unique and sustainable is the integration of technology such as Zero Emission all electric buses, electric vehicle charging points (with capacity to increase). This is the first fully solar powered park and ride in the UK using solar panels over covered parking bays and additional battery storage on site. This combined with the use of modular construction for the fully accessible sustainable terminal building creates a very valuable project to the community and something other Local Authorities could learn from.
