Transport
What actions need to be taken to
improve accessibility, connectivity and congestion?
We are committed to addressing the problems posed by traffic
congestion, which have a serious impact on the social and economic
potential of the West of England. Our priorities are focussed on
tackling congestion, improving public transport, supporting Park
and Ride schemes, emphasising the importance of improvements to the
local and national rail network and promoting proposals for
additional new road schemes.
