New Acceleration Unit to speed up transport projects – Transport Focus response

21 August 2020

Commenting on the new Department for Transport Acceleration Unit to speed up transport infrastructure projects and build back better from Covid,  Transport Focus chief executive Anthony Smith, said:

“We now have a once in a lifetime opportunity to build roads and railways that reflect the way we live and travel now and for better connections in future.

“To get Britain moving again it’s vital that the Government and the new Acceleration Unit listens and responds to transport users’ priorities and communicates its plans to improve services.

“The acid test of all these changes will be when users experience a more attractive transport network. That includes improved reliability and services that are value for money.”
