Local Transport All-Party Parliamentary Group

The Local Transport All-Party Parliamentary Group is a dedicated cross-party forum to promote discussion and engagement on transport issues facing city regions, their towns and surrounding areas.

The group provides an opportunity for Parliamentarians from across Urban Transport Group member areas and the whole country to engage on the latest developments in the sector, and to receive updates and briefings from UTG, our member transport authorities, sector leaders and other stakeholders.
