To meet our ambitious 2030 net zero target we need better public transport. We are working to improve bus services, so that we have a greener, better connected transport network for our residents.
We’re funding a new entrance at Bristol Temple Meads, a key regional transport hub, making it easier for passengers to get around the city and improving connectivity in the West of England region.
We recognise that encouraging more walking and cycling will help us build a healthier and greener West of England, and are investing in improvements to walking and cycling infrastructure.
