Western Gateway Sub-national Transport Body (STB) has launched its coach strategy, which captures the current state of play for coach services across the Western Gateway region and identifies future priorities for improving services and supporting infrastructure.
This month we reflect on the second STB conference and our support for the first-ever Better Transport Week. Plus we share important information from National Highways on their future road plans and consultation along with dates for your diary for the upcoming month.
Western Gateway STB publishes ‘Making the case for rural investment’, setting out the challenges facing England’s rural communities when it comes to funding and levelling up.
This month we have news about our new carbon baseline and forecasting tool and Lead Officer vacancy. Also, don’t miss out on registering for the second annual STB Conference on Monday 5th June.
This month we launch our engagement for ‘Making the right choices: Issues and opportunities for the Strategic Transport Plan 2025-2050’. We also have news about how we will help pilot new approaches to rural transport in the South West.
As Western Gateway STB prepares to develop its Strategic Transport Plan up to 2050, ‘Making the right choices’ sets out the issues and opportunities facing transport planning in the region and seeks views on what the priorities should be to develop this long-term plan.
This month we are looking for SME hauliers to take part in a load-matching trial to reduce empty running lorries. Plus we have news on our upcoming issues and opportunities paper, where we will be asking for your views to help us develop our long-term Strategic Transport Plan.
