Following a successful stakeholder consultation process, the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Policy Statement for the period 2007/08 to 2009/10 was approved by the PTA and finalised for publication in 2007. The statement sets out the (then) Public Transport Authority's (PTA's) approach to public transport policy Tyne and Wear, focusing on four overarching objectives of: - Actively promoting the use of better public transport as a real alternative to travelling by car and thereby contributing to reducing road traffic congestion;
- Reducing transport-related social exclusion;
- Protecting, preserving and enhancing the natural and built environments; and
- Assisting in stimulating economic regeneration.
*Please note: The Policy Statement is currently under review to reflect the Authority’s expanded role as an Integrated Transport Authority (ITA).
