The Summit, sponsored by Urban Transport Group, brings together in a unique way senior people involved in UK local transport from a range of perspectives including political leaders and decision-makers, those responsible for strategy, system design and delivery within transport authorities, and others with a connection to the future of our local transport system as providers, advisors, researchers and activists. The event has the active and support and engagement of the Department for Transport, Transport for Wales and other significant professional bodies.

In existence since 2015, the Local Transport Summit 'goes on the road' each year, and has in the past visited different parts of England, including Oxfordshire ,Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Hertfordshire and most recently West London. It has established a position as the key annual event for this sector.

This year, the event visits Wales in recognition of recent innovative and pioneering work across a range of policy areas offering a very significant and important new perspective on local transport. A significant time allocation will be made this year for a showcase session by the host area, with keynote speech by the appropriate Welsh transport political leader and discussion on the range of transport innovation taking place in Wales including the national 20mph local roads speed limit initiative, revised transport appraisal guidance, Sloman roads review and North Wales /A55 Transport Commission to name but four.
