We’re one of seven sub-national transport bodies in England. We bridge the gap between national government and local authorities, working collaboratively with transport officers, operators and neighbouring regions to speak with a single voice to improve transport across the area – and beyond.
A resilient transport network that works for everyone and is fit for the future, helping people and businesses throughout the Western Gateway to thrive while protecting our environment.
We are pleased to present this updated Strategic Investment Plan (SIP), setting out the transport investments that will help deliver our shared vision for the Western Gateway region over the coming decade.
Updated to reflect changes in national policy, increased housing and growth ambitions, and a stronger focus on equalities and resilience, the SIP provides a framework for partners to work together to improve connectivity, support sustainable growth, and contribute to our environmental objectives.
We thank our local authority partners and stakeholders for their valuable input in ensuring the plan remains evidence based, regionally aligned and responsive to local needs.
We work across many areas of transport, from cycling to carbon and rail to roads. Find out more about the projects we’re fuelling. Use the slider to explore our workstreams.
