Transport across towns and cities could become integrated using dedicated apps, with a focus on investing in poorer areas and healthier methods. Louise Haigh, the transport secretary, described the plans as a revolution to wrestle back power over transport.
The new metrics for assessing transport projects will prioritize economic growth and productivity, specifically targeting areas with poor transport connectivity, such as the north of England.
Haigh presented the strategy as a radical shift from an infrastructure-heavy approach, stating that transport policy had often been tackled by hobbyists, and that she doesn’t share that enthusiasm for trains.
Haigh emphasized that using technology to connect different transport systems could be transformative, citing Dijon as a successful example of an integrated approach with a central app for all transportation needs.
