UMP is delighted to launch its new report, Transforming UK Transport: The Power of Public and Private Partnerships, which sets out a clear framework for how national, regional and local government can work with industry to deliver a more efficient, inclusive and sustainable transport system.
With new policy momentum in the first year of government, there is a strong foundation for a more connected, sustainable and user-focused system. Turning plans into delivery will need closer collaboration between public authorities and private innovators, with industry involved earlier to unlock investment, speed up decarbonisation and improve connectivity for communities.
This report sets out a practical partnership framework: clear roles and shared accountability, earlier engagement to accelerate delivery, and measures to join up modes so end-to-end journeys work for users. It focuses on actions that can be taken by local, regional and national government with industry to deliver services that are more efficient, inclusive and sustainable.
Grounded in evidence and shaped by real-world experience from operators, mobility providers and local leaders, the report is about outcomes. We believe genuine partnerships built on trust and shared goals can help government realise its ambitions and improve mobility for all.
As budgets are stretched and expectations rise, public and private partners need a practical, locally driven way forward. This report offers that route.
