Transportation systems take many forms, from long-distance high-speed rail to local bus services, from metro systems to cycling and walking networks. Together they create an interconnected web of transport options that serve the needs of local people, visitors, commuters and businesses. Developing robust, low-carbon transport solutions for the future is a complex challenge. It requires changes in road transport management alongside the development of multi-modal transport solutions. These must be combined to satisfy multiple stakeholders, fulfil government targets, meet environmental objectives and provide long-term sustainable transport systems for the UK.
