Integrated National Transport Strategy – passenger watchdog comment

28 November 2024

Commenting on the Transport Secretary’s new Integrated National Transport Strategy, Transport Focus Chief Executive Alex Robertson,  said:

“Over twenty years ago I was at Transport for London when the Mayor’s first Transport Strategy was created. It linked transport with economic development, social inclusion and environmental objectives in a way that made a real difference to how decisions were made in the capital.

“It’s fantastic to see the ambition to do this now at a national level. This won’t be easy – the challenges and context vary considerably across the country – but the benefits are potentially huge. A fully integrated transport system based on engagement with users about what they want can help people more easily get to work, see friends and family, and access services they rely on.

“As the voice of Britain’s transport users we will be making sure their views are at the heart of this important work.”
