Transport for Wales (TfW) has published strategy spanning the next five years, which outlines how the body plans to improve public transport and encourage more people to travel sustainably.
The government-owned nonprofit hopes to deliver a transformational programme across Wales that will provide upgrades to rail, bus and active travel routes.
Last year, the Welsh Government released Llwybr Newydd: The Wales Transport Strategy 2021, which revealed the importance of public transport to reaching net zero by 2050.
TfW’s new strategy sets out its five-year plan to help achieve this.
James Price, CEO of Transport for Wales, said: “At TfW we’re working to improve public transport and we need fewer people travelling by car and more taking public transport, wheeling, walking or cycling.
“We’re investing in rail, bus and active travel and focusing on creating a more joined up network across all modes of travel.
“We know that there are some challenges ahead as we face a period of financial uncertainty and the rising cost of living.
“The war in Ukraine has put pressure on the cost of materials and we’re still recovering from a global pandemic.
“However, we’ve remain committed to our goals and this new strategy provides a clear outline about how we’ll achieve them.
“With brand-new trains and new electric buses entering service at the start of 2023, we’re continuing to move forward with our transformational plans.”
