Autumn Statement 2023: UTG representation to HM Treasury
This representation to HM Treasury ahead of the Autumn Statement 2023 outlines how sustainable and adequate long-term investment in transport is key to achieving government’s goals on economic growth, net zero and levelling up.
This submission underlines the strong case for investing in public transport, walking and cycling, and calls for certainty that “committed” or “announced” funding leads to delivery, and in turn, growth.
Autumn Statement: Transport funding should be seen as an investment in growth, people and places
