Local Transport Plan 2006 - 2011 (LTP)

The LTP is a five year plan which sets out how we will implement national and local transport policy. It describes how we will improve transport networks and facilities for public transport, cyclists, pedestrians, and motor vehicles. We publish an Annual Progress Report to keep the Government and public informed of progress towards our targets .

The LTP is changed in 2006. It concentrates on four transport priorities shared between local and central government.

The Four Shared Transport Priorities

Tackling Congestion - we will manage the road network better to reduce traffic congestion by planning and introducing the right balance of transport measures such as parking pricing and restraint, better public transport, better facilities for cyclists and pedestrians.

Accessibility Planning - We will improve the ability of people to access places of work, learning, health care, shopping and leisure by better planning the location of services and the transport that serves them.

Safer Roads - We will improve the safety of our roads for all users - especially the most vulnerable ones such as children, people with disabilities and older people.

Better Air Quality - We will address air pollution issues associated with traffic emissions on local roads.
