Next Thursday, the Executive Members of the City of York Council will be asked to approve a new, comprehensive Local Transport Strategy that will shape the city's travel networks until 2040.

The plan is based on a 2010 consultation which brought to light public concerns over the social impacts of poor transport, including feeling isolated and not being able to access jobs, education, or healthcare.

The plan includes improvements to bus services, walking and cycling infrastructures and highway design.

It also coincides with the newly established York and North Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority which will unlock over £100m of new funding to transport in York.
