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.
