Transport Strategy

'Your Voices' Survey

We are undertaking a refresh of our Transport Strategy, originally published in 2020.

To do this, we are asking residents, businesses, and interest groups in the South East to take part in the public consultation on our draft Transport Strategy.

Have a look at the documents below, and complete the survey to submit your views on the transport challenges and priorities that the Draft Transport Strategy sets out.

The views of those living and working in the South East are an essential part of helping us shape our updated Transport Strategy.  It will seek to address the unique transport needs and challenges of different communities within the region. One of our key roles is to speak to government about transport priorities and challenges that need to be addressed in our region. To do this effectively, we need to hear from as many people as possible across the South East

A bold vision for a brighter future

We think that to achieve a flourishing economy you need a bold, future-focused Transport Strategy built around people and the places they live, work and do business. 

The strategy supported the development of our Strategic Investment Plan and is where the journey towards a brighter, more sustainable future for the South East began.

This is our thirty-year Transport Strategy for the South East.

Where it started

The existing Transport Strategy was published in summer 2020. It set out our partnership’s shared vision for a better connected, more prosperous and more sustainable South East.

Our Economic Connectivity Review was the first major component of our Transport Strategy for the region. To turn our Transport Strategy from vision to reality, we developed five Area Studies:

– Outer Orbital Study
– Inner Orbital Study
– South Central Radial Study
– South East Radial Study
– South West Radial Study.

The most recent component towards achieving our vision is our Strategic Investment Plan (SIP). The SIP was developed in collaboration with our 16 Local Transport Authorities and builds upon our Transport Strategy.

As part of our commitment to the Transport Strategy, we are refreshing it every five years, ensuring it remains committed to the priorities of the 16 Local Transport Authorities.
