Transport Policy

Local Transport Plans (LTPs) are a core part of the Government's proposals for achieving an integrated transport system to tackle the problems of congestion and pollution. The LTP enables local Highway Authorities to set out their strategies for delivering integrated transport locally. It is also a mechanism for local authorities to bid to central Government for capital funds for transport improvements and maintenance. 

The Leicestershire County LTP sets out the vision for the plan area and the transport proposals to achieve that vision with a programme for the next five years until 2010/11. It is the County Council's bid to central Government to fund the capital programme for transport improvementsand maintenance.
