Nottingham City Council have introduced the third Local Transport Plan (LTP) which is a statutory document that aims to address transport challenges facing the City of Nottingham from 2011 - 2026.

With plans to transform our railway station into a transport hub, an extended world class tram system, and a fantastic bus network that has two award winning bus operators, Nottingham is one of the leading cities in the UK for public transport.

The Campaign for Better Transport ranked Nottingham as the least car dependent city in the UK, and for the second year running Nottingham City Council has been named Bus Authority of the Year at the 2010 UK Bus Awards.

Public transport is important to us as it affects our everyday life, and with a likely future increase in demand, we need to plan ahead. Although funding is limited at the moment, it is essential we continue to invest in our public transport system if our economy is to continue to grow and we are to do more to improve the environment.

The LTP has been developed to comprise of two component documents:

•  LTP strategy 2011 - 2026 [9Mb] which sets out the Council's long term transport ambitions and strategy of proposals
•  LTP Implementation Plan 2012 - 2015 [2Mb] details the funding allocations and proposed transport measures to be funded over the next three years from April 2011 to March 2014

In addition an air quality action plan was produced in July 2010 and will be updated as part of the annual air quality management progress reports which can be downloaded from the Download section on the top right.
