The East Midlands Combined County Authority<\/a> has launched a consultation on what transport improvements people would like to see across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by East Midlands Mayor Claire Ward, the Mayor\u2019s Transport Plan sets out a bold 15-year vision to transform the way people travel across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Now, people are being urged to get involved with the Mayor\u2019s Big Transport Conversation, which gives residents the chance to help shape a transport system that works for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mayor\u2019s Transport Plan focuses on three major goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Making public transport easier to use and more affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Providing better travel choices that reduce car dependency and connect every community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Upgrading and maintaining highways to ensure they\u2019re reliable and resilient as travel patterns and the climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Claire said: \u201cThis plan sets out a bold and necessary approach to improving travel across the East Midlands, but it\u2019s vital that local people help shape it by joining the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor too many people in the East Midlands, life doesn\u2019t work because transport doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen buses are too expensive, trains don\u2019t run when people need them, or roads aren\u2019t safe or reliable – it affects everything, from work, education, healthcare and the simple ability to stay connected with family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to hear your experiences, your priorities and your ideas. I want to understand what matters most to you, what works well, what doesn\u2019t and what would make the biggest difference to your daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTogether, we can shape a transport system that truly works for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy vision for the East Midlands is simple: public transport that\u2019s easy and affordable to use, communities connected to one another, not just to the biggest cities and roads and infrastructure that are safe, well maintained, and fit for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mayor\u2019s Big Transport Conversation runs until 13 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
