Strategic Investment Plan Consultation (SIP)
Help pick our strategic transport priorities for the region
We are seeking ideas and feedback on our draft Strategic Investment Plan (SIP).
The Strategic Investment Plan identifies 38 investment proposals throughout the Western Gateway region that we believe are best able to deliver our collective vision for transport and achieve the objectives of our joint Strategic Transport Plan over the next ten years. The SIP will enable partners to work together to deliver quality housing and sustainable growth needed across the region, while minimising costs and reducing carbon emissions.
Our vision is for...
“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.”
What is the SIP?
Our Strategic Investment Plan (SIP)
Guiding future regional transport investment
Our Strategic Investment Plan fulfils three important functions:
- Identifies regional transport proposals that are most effective in achieving the aims of our Strategic Transport Plan (STP);
- Enables us to respond to requests from the Department for Transport or other organisations by providing a prioritised list of investment opportunities in the region, in response to policy or funding opportunities.
- Maintains an inventory of regional-level schemes proposed by our partner authorities, to help Western Gateway STB to effectively support our partner authorities to deliver their transport ambitions collaboratively.
Our SIP identifies 38 proposals that we feel are best able to achieve these objectives. Together, they form our recommendation to government for investment in regional transport proposals over the next ten years,
