LTPs identify priorities for maintaining and improving local transport systems, based on the needs and wants of residents and organisations in the region, and put forward plans for how they will be achieved. These improvements are then given funding to be put into action.
Following the Transport Act (2000), the first Local Transport Plan (LTP1) was introduced to cover the period between 2001 and 2006. It was replaced by a second plan (LTP2), which will come to an end in 2011 and be replaced by a third (LTP3). LTP3 will be developed and structured differently to previous plans in line with the Local Transport Act (2008).
Visit the Department for Transport’s (DfT) website for more information about LTPs.
