LGA statement on Integrated National Transport Strategy

Responding to the launch of the Integrated National Transport Strategy, Cllr Adam Hug, transport spokesperson for the Local Government Association, said:

“Councils already put people at the heart of their transport planning and investment, whether it's providing public transport through buses and trams, sustainable travel via walking and cycling paths, or maintaining local roads for residents and visitors to get around.

“Better local transport systems, integrated with devolved services, provides an opportunity for a place-based, user-centred approach to support economic inclusion and people's everyday lives.

“Greater devolving of powers and funding to local areas will help to realise this ambition to better join-up transport services and we look forward to engaging with government, operators, passengers and the public on what more can be done to achieve this.”
