Improved streets

Smoother roads and pavements, more electric vehicle chargers, Park & Rides and travel hubs linking transport options.

Our future network will be one that...

you can trust
is affordable, efficient, and simple to use
offers more journey choices
enables our region to thrive
is ready for the future

We all know that the West is best – but, too often, our transport isn’t. As the country’s fastest-growing region, we need a transport network people can trust, wherever they live. We can, and must, deliver the integrated transport system that people need and deserve.
