Residents are invited to have their say on plans to shape the future of transport in Bury for the next 20 years and beyond.
The strategy outlines investment priorities for different modes of transport, such as a new interchange in Bury town centre and improved Metrolink stops.
It also examines ways to provide more high-frequency bus routes, more reliable services and cheaper fares, and create a network of high-quality walking and cycling routes.
While the strategy seeks to reduce the number of journeys made by cars, it also aims to provide more capacity on the highway network, with new roads and junction improvements to ease congestion.
Councillor Eamonn O’Brien, leader of Bury Council, said: “If we are to realise our Let’s Do It vision and our regeneration plans, we need a state-of-the-art transport system that is effective and affordable.
“We need our transport network to unlock new sites for development, to promote health and well-being through active travel, and to help meet our commitment to having fossil-fuel free travel by 2038.
“This Local Transport Strategy will complement the GM2040 Transport Strategy and other plans and strategies by setting out the transport interventions needed to address our own local transport issues, problems and challenges.”
The consultation is now open and runs until the end of June. It can be completed online, the council are also holding a number of engagement sessions across the borough next month.
