Our goal is to create a world-class transport system for the West Midlands.
To do this we have ambitions for £6 billion of investment across our network from 2017 through to 2032 on projects with around £3 billion already delivered or in delivery including the Metro extension between Wednesbury and Brierley Hill and the new Dudley Interchange.
We are working to move these plans forward with our partners:
- 7 local authorities
- Network Rail
- Highways England
- the Department for Transport
- bus and train operators
Our projects across bus, rail, and tram will help to improve public transport in our region. our work also focuses on transport infrastructure. We want to encourage residents and people visiting the region to use public transport for their journeys.
