The Urban Transport Group has today welcomed the vision for the Government’s Integrated National Transport Strategy, which was unveiled by Transport Secretary Louise Haigh in Leeds.

Jason Prince, Director of the Urban Transport Group, said:

“The Transport Secretary has rightly set her sights on putting people at the heart of public transport.

“City regions are already making great strides in delivering joined-up transport networks as their leaders understand the needs of local people.

“We welcome the bold vision for an Integrated National Transport Strategy, which together with further devolution, will help to achieve this people-first approach to transport.”
