The future of transport in Greater Manchester starts now
People across the city region and beyond are being asked to have their say on the future of Greater Manchester’s transport as a 12-week consultation on a draft long-term strategy launches.
The Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040 – developed by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) on behalf of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) – sets out long-term proposals to create a cleaner, greener, more prosperous city region through better connections and simpler travel. The Strategy considers all aspects of travel from local neighbourhoods to global markets and focuses on creating an integrated, sustainable, and well co-ordinated transport system which supports a wide range of different travel needs.
The consultation, launched today (Monday 4th July) by Tony Lloyd, Interim Mayor of Greater Manchester, gives local people the opportunity to shape the future of travel as part of a radical, and ambitious, new approach to planning in support of long-term needs and aspirations.
