Title attributed to the contract: West Yorkshire Freight Study
Description:
As part of the development of the new Local Transport Plan for West Yorkshire, we are looking to develop our understanding of the freight and logistics sectors and strengthen our policy position in relation to freight and logistics. This is needed in order to support the freight sector to contribute to the emerging vision and ambitions for our LTP. Our emerging LTP vision is that: ‘By 2040 the West Yorkshire will be a recognised globally as a fair and inclusive region where our communities, businesses and places all benefit from sustainable economic growth. Enabled through a zero emission, affordable, integrated, safe and sustainable transport system’. The draft strategic ambitions which will support this vision are: • Boosting productivity through an integrated, reliable, and resilient transport network that supports growth which expands our labour markets, increases innovation and creates jobs. • Enabling inclusive growth by connecting our people and communities with opportunities, delivering equal access for all and eliminating transport related social exclusion. • Tackling the climate emergency through the fair and inclusive decarbonisation of our transport network, delivering the right choice of transport, in the right place, at the right time New LTPs will also have a greater focus on reducing carbon emissions from transport, so we need to understand these emissions associated with the freight sector and how we can work with industry and local authorities to improve performance and reduce the negative impacts that freight can have on communities and the environment
