West Yorkshire Combined Authority sets out plans for mass transit system
Residents of West Yorkshire have been asked to give their views on plans for a new transport network that aims to connect the region’s communities to jobs, education and opportunities.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority is publishing its Connectivity Infrastructure Plan and Mass Transit Vision 2040 today and is asking people across the region to have their say.
The proposals identify where people will live and work in the coming decades, the journeys they will need to take and how best to connect them through an integrated network including walking and cycling, bus, mass transit and rail.
A MULTI BILLION pound plan to create a new mass transit system linking areas of West Yorkshire could use abandoned rail routes. For the past two years, West Yorkshire Combined Authority has been working on a mass transit scheme for the region, and today more details about the hugely ambitious plans were revealed. Although exact locations of stops on the various routes have yet to be decided, the scheme would likely see a mass transit interchange in Bradford city centre as well as stops in areas without rail stations, including Heckmondwike, Cleckheaton, Junction 26 of the M62, “South Bradford” and Laisterdyke.
