Between 23 November 2023 and 4 February 2024, we held a significant public consultation looking at 10 policies to deliver a more sustainable future for York’s transport.

There are ten policy areas which we believe will help us deliver our ambitions for transport:

  1. Accessibility - so that everyone can access the areas and facilities they need and want

  2. Improving walking, wheeling and cycling - so that these become real alternatives to driving a car

  3. Shaping healthy places - offering a range of ways to move around and using the opportunity to provide better places for us to live, work and visit

  4. Improving public transport – upgrading and improving our bus and rail services

  5. Safeguarding the environment by cutting carbon, air pollution and noise - meeting climate change targets and improving the health of the city

  6. Create a Movement and Place plan - creating safe, connected transport networks for residents, businesses and visitors

  7. Reduce car dependency- supporting people to change how they travel, and encourage those who can, to reduce their journeys by car

  8. Improving freight and logistics - creating efficient access for businesses while reducing the impact of heavy vehicles

  9. Effective maintenance and enforcement - so that people choosing sustainable travel are safe, and that cycling, walking and wheeling routes are well maintained

  10. Monitoring the transport network and financing the changes - to ensure the effectiveness of our policies and attract funding to deliver York's new transport strategy as effectively as possible

This was to help prepare a new Local Transport Plan by summer 2024. This consultation will help us write a plan and pave the way to work with the new mayor of the incoming York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority. Once our plan is complete, we will then put our case to government and seek funding for the improvements we want to make in the decades to come.

The consultation closed on 4 February 2024.
