Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2050 and Delivery Plan Consultation
Overview
Greater Manchester is leading the way in creating a transport system that helps people live better lives, supports local communities and powers the economy.
We are now holding a public consultation to seek your views on two important new documents:
- Greater Manchester (GM) Transport Strategy 2050 (opens in new window)
- GM Transport Delivery Plan (2027-37) (opens in new window)
These key documents set out bold and exciting plans for future transport investment across Greater Manchester through to 2050, including the Bee Network and wider transport network.
For an overview of both documents see the 'GM Transport Strategy and Delivery Plan Summary - Consultation Draft' (opens in new window).
