Commuters in Staffordshire and across the country can have their say on the future of transport in a new government survey.
The Department for Transport is developing a 10-year strategy to shape how transport is designed, built, and operated across England. This new strategy will aim to put the needs of transport users at the heart of the system and give local leaders the tools to create integrated solutions for their communities.
The department wants to hear from anyone who uses transport in any form: cars, bikes, buses, trains, walking, or even e-bikes and scooters, as well as frontline transport workers and companies and organisation involved in the transport industry.
The survey will look at day-to-day experiences with transport in England and what could be improved to make getting around easier and better for everyone.
Declan Riddell, Policy Adviser at Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, said: “We know that Staffordshire enjoys exceptional transport connectivity, with an estimated 40 per cent of the UK population living within a two-hour drive of the county.
“Transport plays such a key role in our lives, moving both people and goods across our region. The Department for Transport is calling for views to shape an Integrated National Transport Strategy and this will empower local leaders to deliver tailor-made transport solutions to meet the needs of our residents.
“This is a great opportunity to share your experiences of using transport – good, bad and indifferent – as your response can help to shape how we will travel in the future”

The closing date is Monday, 10 February.
