We're working with @transportgovuk to deliver the Integrated National Transport Strategy, helping to give everyone more transport choice. Read @Chris_Boardman's statement below: 👩‍🦽🚶🚲
Transport systems are not working for the people they serve, and that needs to change. By putting people at the heart of how we design, build and operate transport, we can make it work for everyone.

Visited one of the new Local Transport Hubs in Halesowen yesterday alongside @AlexBallingerMP , to see integrated cycle hire options being rolled out. #Cycling builds happier, healthier communities – so great to see @WestMids_CA boosting access to affordable, safe cycling.
