IT01 Preston City Transport Plan

The Preston City Transport Plan presents a long-term strategy for reducing congestion, providing for better public transport, and transforming the city and the wider sub-region’s streets and spaces. 

It recognises Preston’s recent economic growth and future significant development ambitions, and its importance at a sub-regional and pan-Lancashire level, including the city’s inter relationships across the Northern Powerhouse and nationally.

With a 20-year vision, it looks further into the future, setting out an ambitious programme of proposals to transition the city from a car-dominated network to a multi-modal network, reducing congestion and bolstering productivity, with added inclusivity, and helping Preston to become an ‘accessible’ city and a healthy environment to live, work and play.
