Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040: Draft Delivery Plan (2020-2025)

Title: Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040: Draft Delivery Plan (2020-2025)

Authors: Transport for Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership

Description: “…this Delivery Plan sets out the shorter term measures and schemes our city-region so desperately needs. As is the Greater Manchester way, it has been developed in close co-operation with TfGM, GMCA and the local authorities to ensure our transport investments support and are supported by the new housing and commercial development sites in our draft Greater Manchester Spatial Framework. It also outlines some of the key measures that we will need to develop and implement if we are to clean our air. By dealing with the key challenges on our transport network – poor air quality, congestion and improving public transport, cycling and walking – this joined-up plan sets a clear direction to achieving better, cleaner and more connected transport for all.

Aside from much needed capital investment, this Delivery Plan also sets out the importance of reform to key parts of the transport system itself. Devolution is starting to give Greater Manchester some of the powers, if not all the resources, it needs. I’m committed to using the powers available to improve and much better integrate all our transport modes, but there are further powers I want to see devolved to Greater Manchester and to the local authorities so we are genuinely able to provide the efficient transport network that businesses and residents need. …” - Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester
