Transport Planning Society Reacts to the Integrated National Transport Strategy

Reacting to the Integrated National Transport Strategy call for ideas, Transport Planning Society Policy Director Mark Frost said:

"Today’s Integrated National Transport Strategy call for ideas is a significant step in the right direction for the Government’s approach to designing and building public transport infrastructure.

"An end to the current piecemeal approach to transport policy is essential and, as we called for in our General Election Manifesto, the Government’s new Strategy must aim for an attractive public transport system that delivers for the diverse needs of all transport users, with cheaper, greener and more reliable journeys.

"A successful Strategy will achieve this by integrating transport planning with land-use planning at all levels; ensuring public transport is integrated with walking and cycling to help improve public health and economic development; and supporting the rapid decarbonisation of UK transport”
