# Worcester reinvents its transport

Building on the 2019 City Centre Masterplan which SYSTRA also helped to develop,
our experts will establish an investment plan to enable the movement of people
and goods around the city centre as efficiently as possible, whilst also
improving the attractiveness of the city to investors, liveability and
sustainability. The Transport Plan will be completed in early 2022.

> The Masterplan sets out an ambitious blueprint for a package of measures which
> will improve the public realm and transform Worcester city centre. SYSTRA is
> excited to be carrying out this study which will identify how transport can
> support that vision, help people move around the city centre better, and
> encourage them to do so sustainably.
> Darren KIRKMAN, SYSTRA’s Project Manager for the study

### Three complementary workstreams

The study will be based on the following workstreams:

- how traffic moves around the city centre, and the resulting impacts on
  congestion and visitor experience;
- parking provision and consideration of how this can be optimised to support
  the sustainability of the high street and the vibrancy of retail centres;
- how residents, workers and visitors arrive in, perceive, and move around the
  city centre, developing options to encourage sustainable movement and create a
  sense of place.

### A focus on stakeholder engagement

The outputs of these workstreams will be brought together to create a Transport
Strategy and Action Plan that will include an ambitious package of measures to
be taken forward over the next 20 years.

Stakeholder engagement will be a key part of this, and SYSTRA will be inviting
the views of the public through an online survey, as well as working closely
with elected members and key stakeholders throughout the process.
