The West of England transport network is being transformed over the next 3 years with unprecedented levels of investment in walking, cycling and public transport that will serve to unlock growth in our Enterprise Areas and Zone and provide greater access to affordable and sustainable travel options for our residents.
To support this transformation the West of England are applying for funding from central government.
