"What is the North East Local Transport Plan?
The North East Local Transport Plan outlines the Mayor's blueprint for a connected network that is simple, affordable, and built to last. The goal is to make travel across the North East greener, safer, and more reliable, ensuring it’s accessible to everyone, both physically and financially. The Mayor’s plan will make sustainable travel the first choice for more people and businesses, helping us reduce emissions and improve connections between communities, giving people the skills they need to succeed and creating better wellbeing for all. The plan is structured around five key areas:

1. Journey planning and customer support

2. Ticketing and fares

3. Expanding infrastructure and making it more resilient

4. Enhancing safety, especially for women and girls

5. Improving links between different modes of transport

With a clear delivery plan up to 2040, it sets the path for overcoming current challenges and creating a more efficient, resilient transport network for the future.
Have your say
The public consultation is about making sure we’ve got the big picture right: a vision for an integrated transport network that works for everyone. We want to understand if our five key policy areas of the plan are what the public feel are right for our region, or if we've missed anything. Complete the survey to share your views. The consultation is open until midnight on Sunday 26 January 2025. You can take part here:
