Light rail and other rapid transit solutions in cities and towns
Detail of outcome
We have considered the views and evidence provided, but we will no longer act on this call for evidence. Instead, we are now:
-
prioritising minimum service levels for light rail to comply with the Strikes Bill, which became law in July 2023
-
supporting effective delivery of major mass transit capital projects within mayoral combined authorities’ City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS)
