The Mayor’s Big Transport Conversation has now closed. 

The Mayor’s Big Transport Conversation explored the Mayor’s objectives to make travel across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire easier, cleaner and better connected.  

What was being consulted on in the plan? 

The Mayor now has the power to plan transport as one joined-up network, bringing buses, trams, trains, walking and cycling routes together across the region.  

This is the first stage in the consultation process, setting out the emerging goals and policies for the Mayor’s Transport Plan.

Mayor Claire has six ‘fights’ for a fairer, better-connected East Midlands:

1. Fighting congestion
2. Fighting for young people’s independence
3. Fighting for connected communities
4. Fighting for reliable public transport
5. Fighting for better roads
6. Fighting for safe and clean bus stops

The Mayor’s Transport Plan has three goals to achieve these:

1. Affordable transport – To make travelling by public transport easier and more affordable.
2. Connecting communities – To connect all our communities by giving people travel choices that go beyond reliance on the car.
3. Safe and reliable – To bring our highways into a good state of repair, so they can offer reliability despite changing travel demands and a changing climate.
