This report, published ahead of the Spending Review, calls on Government to provide long-term funding certainty and stability for local transport, addressing the long-term capital and revenue needs of UTG's members to enable them to continue their vital work of driving economic growth in their regions.

This report looks at travel trends and the local economies of city regions, and explores how devolution is beginning to deliver for urban areas. It examines how trends have changed over time and how these trends have played out across different modes of transport.

This report sets out the case for a new, meaningful role for devolved leaders and authorities in the railways, one which ensures decisions on local rail are made close to the communities they serve, whilst supporting local and national policy missions.

This report charts the history and success of English transport devolution to the present day, and sets out recommendations on how to fully realise the benefits it offers for future growth.

This paper explores the opportunity transport investment presents for the achievement of government's policy goals and the immediate funding priorities that must be addressed ahead of the Spending Review to enable this opportunity to be realised.

This report explores how the benefits of Zero Emission Buses (ZEBs) can be realised and rolled out more rapidly. It looks at the local and national policy reforms, funding arrangements and manufacturing capacity needed to unlock the delivery of ZEBs and fulfil fleet decarbonisation goals.

This independent assessment explores how a future government could accelerate the delivery of improved connectivity within and between the UK’s towns and cities to harness these vital benefits and power us into the decades ahead.

This report aims to give readers the ‘inside track’ into transport trends over the last decade – to not only show what they are, but to also explain why they are happening and what they might mean for cities and transport within them.

This paper explores whether capital investment in bus can be used to make bus services more efficient. Using modelling, it shows that capital investment in zero emission buses and bus priority can indeed unlock efficiencies, and that these benefits can be multiplied by combining that investment with enhanced revenue funding support.
