Government’s development of the Integrated National Transport Strategy (INTS) an exciting opportunity to put people at the centre of transport policy in way which is ambitious and innovative.
Integration of systems, modes, data and joined-up decision making are all key to ensuring journeys across the transport network are easy, reliable and convenient.
As part of EEH’s response to the INTS ‘call for ideas’, we have outlined that it is vital that major infrastructure projects, including key schemes in the region such as East West Rail, have integration and ‘door to door’ solutions built in from the beginning of the project.
EEH’s work has integration embedded across its entire approach. We are already undertaking technical activities that address or accelerate specific integration opportunities. This includes our work on mobility hubs (see below) which considers how modes can be integrated at points of interchange.
EEH also supported DfT’s INTS roadshow event in Milton Keynes on 11 March, in which stakeholders from across the region fed back directly to the senior officials producing the strategy.
