Funding
Investing in transport presents an opportunity to safeguard the vital contribution of local transport in boosting economic growth; keeping people safe and healthy; breaking down barriers to opportunity; and accelerating to net zero.
Central government funding must offer long-term certainty; enable local decision-making; be simple to administer; and recognise the need for a steady transition to build capacity and capability, particularly for smaller or newer authorities.
Invest and grow
Investment in local transport should no longer be viewed as a cost to be trimmed. Rather it is an enabler, a vital foundation to promote a growing, green, equitable and healthy society.
