In 2021 we started a conversation on how the West Midlands could reimagine transport and as part of this, developed and consulted on our draft Local Transport Plan (LTP) Core Strategy.

The Local Transport Plan sets out how we will promote safe, integrated, efficient and economic transport to, from and within our area and our LTP Core Strategy sets out why we want to change our region to:

  • improve accessibility
  • reduce traffic
  • electrify transport

In the LTP Core Strategy, we set out the building blocks for how we can achieve our vision and objectives for the region. 

From this, we have created our ‘6 Big Moves’. Each move lays out principles, policies and in some cases specific interventions that will help us to achieve our goals under a themed area of action.

Public Consultation
We want to make sure that our plans work for people across the West Midlands so we want to hear your views on our ’6 Big Moves’. Each move lays out:

  • principles
  • policies
  • in some cases, specific interventions

These will help us to achieve our goals under a themed area of action.  We want to move the West Midlands forwards. We’ll work with residents and businesses to achieve this and make changes for the better.

You can read a summary of the 6 Big Moves here or you can find a hard copy in your local library.

Public Consultation 

We want to make sure that our plans work for you, so we are running a public consultation from 20 February to 5th May 2023. 

Let us know your thoughts on the 6 Big Moves by filling out our survey. 

Your support will help shape the next phase of our Local Transport Plan. The consultation closes at 9am on Friday 5 May.
