Transport offers us more than you might realise. It offers access to education, employment, health care, food sources, and leisure activities and visiting friends and family. The way we travel and use transport can have a major affect on our quality of life, health and environment both locally and globally.
The Merseyside Transport Partnership through the The Local Transport Plan aim to ensure a fully integrated, safe transport network which is operated to the highest standards to protect and enhance the environment, support a healthier community by addressing noise and air problems caused by traffic, promote cycling and walking and ensure quality of life. The Merseyside Transport Partnership carried out a Strategic Environmental Assessment and Health Impact Assessment, (SEA/HIA), as well as the ongoing delivery of other projects to address important Quality of Life Issues.
On Merseyside we have a Transport, Health and Environment Forum which meets regularly to bring the three sectors together to discuss issues of mutual interest, share information and develop and promote good practice in sustainable transport
You are welcome to join this forum, contact the LTP Support Unit on info@transportmerseyside.org to join or for more information.
