With 44,000 new jobs and 33,000 new homes planned, the council needs feedback on their new draft strategy to get transport back on track. They are particularly keen to hear from local employers to help staff get to work more easily.
The new strategy prioritises travel by public transport, bike and on foot. The plans for Cambridge include promoting bus routes that connect key economic hubs, persuading more people to car share and additional cycle parking. In South Cambridgeshire the plans include, ensuring public transport is available for travelling to Cambridge, linking villages with public transport and joining up cycle networks.
