Transport for the North (TfN) has published its 2022/23 Business Plan, setting out how investment is needed in the transport network across Northern England.
The Business Plan outlines TfN’s vision for developing a transport infrastructure in the North that is user-centred, place-based and outcome focused.
The sub-national transport body’s plans build on existing work carried out by the organisation since it was established in 2018, and they focus on continued leadership for the region as:
- A centre of technical excellence for the North
- A sourced of trusted information
- A strategic thought leader and champion of strategic transport planning
- An enabler of accelerated delivery
- A trusted collaborator
Martin Tugwell, Chief Executive of Transport for the North, said:
“The publication of our 2022/23 Business Plan sets out the ambition of TfN as we move forward. It maps out our focus not just for the year ahead, but beyond that.
“Since its inception in 2018, TfN has become a regional centre for excellence for strategic transport planning. As we move forward as a smaller, leaner organisation, we will focus on our core role and responsibilities, developing our ability to support our partners as they turn strategy into delivery on the ground.
“We will continue to act as one voice for the North of England to ensure that the region gets the investment in its transport network that the people who live and work here deserve.”
