Let's Talk Transport

Let’s Talk Transport is the easiest way for people to get involved in shaping the future of Staffordshire’s transport network.

In 2024, we’re developing a new local transport plan (LTP). It will describe Staffordshire's future transport network and the practical steps we, and others, need to take to get there. The plan will include all the ways we get around, and how we manage our roads.

The plan will:

• Outline the future vision for our transport network in 2050, together with the policies, plans, and programmes needed to realise it.
• Describe our aspirations for walking, cycling, wheeling, public transport, rail, car-based travel, and freight.
• Describe our aspirations regarding the management and maintenance of local roads.
• Explain how we will prioritise, fund, deliver and monitor the schemes necessary to achieve the vision.
• Set out our 'asks' of our partners and Government, whose cooperation is essential to realise the vision.
• Align with, and support, the council’s broader strategies, plans, and priorities.

Since we have launched let’s talk transport we have:

• Launched our walking and cycling maps and survey, to engage with communities being included within our next local cycling and walking infrastructure plan (LCWIP).
• Held a poll regarding what transport issues are important to you.
• Regularly updated let’s talk transport with content such as scrutiny reports and the Staffordshire business & environment network (SBEN) breakfast video.

We now have live:

• The Freight and Business Survey, allowing businesses to have their say on transport issues that affect them. Freight and Business Transport Survey | Let's Talk Staffordshire
