The Corporate Director of Placepresented a report which set out a proposed scope, timescale and budget for York’s fourth Local Transport Plan  (LTP4).  The report had been considered by the Executive Member for Transport at a Decision Session on 11 May.

Outcomes achieved against LTP3, which had been in place since 2011, were summarised in paragraph 10 of the report.  LTP4 would build on the work already undertaken on initiatives such as My City Centre and the Local Plan, and would complement the strategies being developed for York’s Economic Recovery and Carbon Reduction / Climate Change.  It would also take account of committed major transport schemes, national and regional policies, and the council’s commitments to zero carbon and reducing car use in the city centre and around schools. It would concentrate on a 15-year period with a review every 5 years.

Governance arrangements for LTP4 were set out in paragraphs 25-27.  They included a cross-party Member steering group that would make recommendations to the Executive or Executive Member for Transport at key points as the plan developed.  A large stakeholder group would also be involved at the close of critical stages.  A consultation process for the plan was set out in Annex A to the report, and a GANTT chart showing the stages towards an assumed completion in September 2022 was attached at Annex B.
