Across Hull and East Yorkshire busy city routes combine with rural roads, coastal links and market town networks. A good transport system must serve everyone – commuters, students, visitors and businesses – across our different landscapes.
A new Transport Manifesto will include measures that are important to residents, such as concessionary fares and franchising, and will ensure transport links to our jobs, health and housing priorities. Alongside this, a long-term Strategic Transport Plan will guide investment over the next decade.
Connectivity also means digital connection. Investment in full-fibre broadband and 5G networks will connect our region, and investment in digital skills will mean our residents can more confidently use the online services and tools.
By improving how we move and communicate, we will make it easier for everyone to reach jobs, education and essential services. Most importantly, we will create a region that feels more closely connected.
