Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
- That it be noted that
there was a clear consensus about the importance of delivering an
integrated transport network for GM and the role of the GM
Transport Committee in working alongside the Mayor, GMCA and ten
Local Authorities to champion and support its delivery.
- That it be noted that
over the next 12 months, the GM Mayor suggested that the Committee
could add value on the development and delivery of key priorities
including Streets for All, the Electric Vehicle Charging Network,
the GM Bike Hire scheme, and widening the benefits of community
rail assets.
- Further to this, that
it be noted that the GM Mayor suggested that the biggest barriers
to public transport reform included the lack of long-term
Government financial support, the current capacity of the network
and the unused rail infrastructure and encouraged the Committee to
consider how they could actively pursue improvements in these
areas.
- That it be noted that
the GM Mayor, in conjunction with officers at TfGM, would
give further consideration to the
importance of active travel and public transport in tackling health
inequalities and associated campaign messaging.
