Strategy

Midlands Connect researches, develops and progresses transport projects that will benefit the region, its people and its businesses. In an ever-changing world, our priorities remain the same - to create a fairer, greener and stronger Midlands.

The world is a very different place since publishing our first regional transport strategy in 2017. Our country has undergone profound changes as we recover from the social and economic effects of Covid-19, navigate business and trade following our exit from the European Union and address the global climate emergency.

Our Strategic Transport Plan addresses these challenges, recommending transport projects that can create a more productive, prosperous and sustainable Midlands. Our overall ambition is to make the Midlands region fairer, greener and stronger for everyone who lives here.
