Strengthening local delivery - the draft Local Transport Bill - volume 1: a consultation

The core purpose of the draft bill is to tackle congestion and improve public transport. It seeks to empower local authorities to develop local solutions to the local transport challenges they face, consistent with the devolutionary principles set out in the Local Government White Paper Strong and Prosperous Communities. The strategy is based around a broad package of measure. These include targeted increases in road capacity where justified, sustained investment in public transport, and better management of our existing transport networks.
