Local Transport Plan 3

The Third Local Transport Plan for Merseyside became active from 1st April 2011.

The plan sets out the implementation plans in the short term to 2015 and looks to the longer term strategy for 2024 on how to improve transport in Merseyside.

The Third Local Transport Plan has the following vision;

'A city region committed to a low carbon future, which has a transport network and mobility culture that positively contributes to a thriving economy and the health and wellbeing of its citizens and where sustainable travel is the option of choice'.

The Local Transport Plan has six goals;

• One - Help create the right conditions for sustainable economic growth by supporting the priorities of the Liverpool City Region, the Local Enterprise Partnership and the Local Strategic Partnerships.
• Two - Provide and promote a clean, low emission transport system which is resilient to changes to climate and oil availability.
• Three - Ensure the transport system promotes and enables improved health and wellbeing and road safety.
• Four - Ensure equality of travel opportunity for all, through a transport system that allows people to connect easily with employment, education, healthcare, other essential services and leisure and recreational opportunities.
• Five - Ensure the transport network supports the economic success of the city region by the efficient movement of people and goods.
• Six - Maintain our assets to a high standard.
  (Please note all goals have equal status).
