Local Transport Plan

What is the Local Transport Plan (LTP)?

The future of Transport White Paper (2004) sets out how the government will respond to the increasing demand for travel, maximising the benefits of transport while minimising the negative impact on people and the environment. In order to deliver this national transport strategy most local transport authorities in England are required to produce and implement a local transport plan (LTP).

The purpose of LTPs is to clearly set out an authority's approach to improving local transport over a five-year period. The LTPs also influence the allocation of funding to local authorities, and so it is important that good quality LTPs are produced in order to maximise funding available for transport improvements in the local area.

Warrington's Local Transport Plan 2001-2006 (LPT1)

Warrington's first LTP (LTP1) was published in July 2000 to cover the five-year period from 2001 to 2006, and outlined the council's strategy to improve local transport, along with a range of specific schemes aimed at creating a step-change improvements in transport. This included identifying and monitoring a range of national and local targets for changes in transport use.

LTP1 resulted in significant improvements to transport in Warrington. This progress is reported in annual progress reports the LTP1 delivery report.

LTP1 progress and delivery reports

One of the requirements of the LTP is the production of Annual Progress Reports (APRs), detailing the achievements of the previous 12 months, and programme for the next year.

At the end of LTP1 a delivery report was produced setting out progress over the plan period.
