More news regarding Bradford Bus Station. The station will be closed for "at least two months to ensure these issues can be assessed ". It is essential replacement shelters and locations are sorted as quickly as possible, due to the impact this is having on employees and employers. While the update is welcomed, there is plenty of work still to be done. We will be discussing this and more at the next Bradford Property & Economic Steering Group.

This latest episode of Utopia isn't as hilarious as the others but still worth a watch for several reasons: 1. The infrastructure is already exceeding maximum capacity despite only just opening. 2. The solution being considered is to ban trucks (only those from nearby construction sites) from using the road. 3. Everyone is hoping for the solution to work, meaning it isn't really a solution. 4. All solutions are being considered. Does this include the banning of private vehicles, the integration of alternative transport options, or even the complete dismantling of the interchange entirely to make way for new housing stock? 5. The people who made the decision to invest in this piece of infrastructure have too much pride to admit their mistakes. 6. It seems that the research still has not reached the decision makers in NSW. Investing in road infrastructure is only going to accelerate traffic congestion not decrease it. Howard Collins, OBE Chris Minns Transport for NSW

#WestYorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin has unveiled proposals for a new tram system that will run between #Leeds and #Bradford, with a later extension to #Dewsbury also a possibility. Subject to being agreed at a final Combined Authority meeting this week, this will represent a major step forward for the area’s proposed mass transit scheme. The first phase is planned to begin construction in 2028 and begin operation by the early 2030s. Future phases are intended to follow and the Combined Authority plan to work with Kirklees Council to look into how to include a Dewsbury Line in future. The full network is projected to be completed by 2040. The first phase would include two lines between Leeds and Bradford: The Leeds Line and the Bradford Line. The Leeds Line would take people between St James’ Hospital, through Leeds city centre and on to Elland Road and the White Rose Shopping Centre. The Bradford Line would run from Leeds city centre to Bradford city centre – also linking Bradford Forster Square station with the new Bradford rail station. This line supports Bradford’s plans to regenerate the city’s southern gateway, which includes the new Bradford rail station. A consultation this summer will see the public asked for their views on potential route options for the first phase of #masstransit The Combined Authority will also work on a £1 million Mass Transit development fund to be set aside to support the Dewsbury Line Development Project, which will look into how to get mass transit to connect #Kirklees with Leeds. The mass transit system will form a key part of a wider integrated transport system in the region, integrating with bus, rail, cycling and walking, so that everyone can get across the region with ease. The Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tracy Brabin, said: ‘Today is a key milestone in our plan to create a better-connected region that works for all. By setting out our plans to submit to government, we are taking a major step forward towards the biggest infrastructure project West Yorkshire has seen since the development of the motorways six decades ago. ‘This will be transformational for the North, helping our communities to thrive and our economy to flourish – benefitting generations to come with greater opportunity and prosperity. ‘We know that mass transit systems have successfully helped to regenerate areas right across the country by boosting connectivity, opportunity and prosperity – and we will work tirelessly to make sure that happens here in West Yorkshire.’ 🔻🔻🔻 Click/tap image below to see video on YouTube 🔻🔻🔻

In just over a week, millions of Londoners will be voting in the Mayoral elections. ✍ Whoever wins, transport will be their biggest responsibility, taking decisions that will affect the lives of millions. Last week, Clean Cities and Possible hosted the Future of London Transport Hustings where the 4 major parties laid out their plans to shape the future of transport. We were delighted to secure the support of more than 20 NGOs and civil society groups. 🚆 The next Mayor will face a number of key challenges, including ensuring that transport is available and affordable in a cost of living crisis. Urgent action is needed on reducing deaths and serious injuries from road collisions, cleaning up our dirty air and securing a stable climate for future generations. We wanted to give the main parties the opportunity to set out their stall on how they will shape the future of London’s transport system. #LDNtransport It was a lively debate and of course, there was the usual disagreement on some key themes. But it was really welcoming to see the areas where the parties agreed and came together - something often lacking in politics. We welcomed agreement on the following areas… 📣 - Improving transport connectivity in outer London, giving people a real choice of transport options and decreasing car dependency. - Addressing the lack of accessibility on our train and tube network for people with reduced mobility who struggle to use services. - Commitment to tackling road fatalities by improving road infrastructure and working closely with local authorities. - Ditching diesel to improve the air we breathe and properly investing in electric charging infrastructure in the city. - Investing and expanding shared and micro-mobility to drive down car use in the city.

🚐 City of Barrie Expands Their Microtransit Service! 🚐 Four years ago, the Barrie Transit team and RideCo On-Demand Transit introduced on-demand transit to help reshape public transportation in the city. With the service's continued success and high customer satisfaction, Transit ON Demand has now expanded to a total of five zones with plans to add two more in the future. This efficient mobility solution replaces underutilized fixed routes and provides a flexible service for riders. Jason Zimmerman C.Tech., Project Manager at Barrie Transit, shared his insights on the expansion with CTV News: "Each Transit ON Demand zone has been strategically designed to provide a direct travel option to and from their basic amenities - medical, groceries, [and] commercial restaurants."
