On Tuesday, January 23rd, 2024, the Transport and Mobility Advocacy Group convened virtually via Microsoft Teams to address pressing issues within the transport sector. The meeting provided a platform for industry leaders to discuss ongoing market opportunities and challenges, as well as discuss share insights as part of a policy submission. 

Rail and Urban Transport Review 

Joined by representatives from the Labour Party, members took part in a comprehensive discussion on the Rail and Urban Transport Review. In December 2023, the review was established to examine how a future government could accelerate connectivity within and between the UK’s key urban areas. 

Discussions at the meeting focused on the review’s four core themes, including: 

•  Growth opportunity through unlocking planning 
• Clarity and certainty of policy and funding 
• Devolution and sustainable partnerships 
• Private sector and industry capacity 
• UTG is coordinating the evidence gathering process. 

 Forthcoming transport group meetings: 

• 19 March, 10:00 – 11:30 
• 14 May, 10:00 – 11:30  
• 9 July, 10:00 – 11:30
