Membership of the Urban Transport Group (UTG) is open to public sector transport authorities.

Why join us?

• We make the case for public transport through purposeful policy

Our hugely influential policy work is changing public transport for the better. Whether we’re shaping legislation or successfully advocating for funding or further devolution, our work helps to ensure that transport is delivering positive outcomes for places across the UK.

• We provide thought leadership by developing and maintaining a network of strong sector relationships

We believe strong partnerships are vital to achieve the best transport outcomes for our places. As well as working with our members, we collaborate with a range of organisations (across the public, private, charitable and academic sectors) to provide strong, united leadership on the most challenging issues facing transport.
