Our story
We’re one of seven sub-national transport bodies in England, working to improve transport and connectivity across the region.
We work cooperatively with nine local authorities to speak with a single voice on transport and bridge the gap between national and local strategies that benefit the area – and beyond.

Our region
The Western Gateway region stretches from Gloucestershire down to Bournemouth, and includes the bustling cities of Bristol, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Salisbury and Bath, as well as the towns of Weymouth, Stroud, Tewksbury, Dorchester and Cirencester. In between are smaller towns, villages and hamlets nestled in the rolling countryside or edging the coastline.
The area is also a gateway to the wider South West regions of Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and South Wales, as well as the popular cities of London and Birmingham.
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.
