Transport planner JMP is working with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council to develop its third Local Transport Plan (LTP3), containing a long term strategy for the Riding, together with separate implementation plans.
The LTP3, which has to be submitted to the Department for Transport next year for implementation from 2011 will focus on achieving national, regional and local goals.
It will ensure integration with the DFT’s “Delivering a Sustainable Transport Strategy” approach, the integrated regional strategy for Yorkshire and the Humber, the Hull and Humber Ports city region policy framework and Local Development Framework proposals in the East Riding.
Formal DfT guidance on developing LTP3 is expected this month and JMP will be working with the Council over the next 12 to 18 months.
JMP has a successful track record of working with local transport authorities in developing LTPs, including helping at least one authority improve its final LTP2 by one grade in a DfT assessment of the quality of plans.
