Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2040
Our long-term plan to create a city-region where people have a better quality of life with improved health, a greener environment and a stronger economy. We want 50% of all journeys in Greater Manchester by 2040 to be by walking, cycling or public transport. That’s a million more sustainable journeys every day.

Our Five Year Transport Delivery Plan
Sets out all the projects we want to deliver - or develop - and powers we want to secure over the next five years to generate real benefits for the people and businesses of Greater Manchester.
This section includes our ten Local Implementation Plans - one for each of the Greater Manchester's local authorities - which complement Our Five Year Transport Delivery Plan by providing more detail on local transport priorities to support local trips within neighbourhoods and local centres.

Streets for All
Our Streets for All Strategy sets out Greater Manchester’s progressive approach to making our streets easier for all to get around by putting people first as we shape and manage our transport network.

Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy
The UK plans to phase out the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030. That’s a big change, and the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure Strategy sets out how Greater Manchester plans to help people who need to drive make the switch to an EV with confidence, knowing that they can recharge it quickly and easily.
