Greater Manchester Transport Strategy 2050 and Delivery Plan consultation
Give your views on future transport plans for Greater Manchester
People who live, work, travel, visit, or study in Greater Manchester are being asked to help shape the future of travel through to 2050, by giving their views during a public consultation.
The Greater Manchester Transport Strategy and Delivery Plan outlines how our growing city region will deliver a world-class, joined up transport system – better connecting people with places, new jobs, opportunities, homes and services, including healthcare and education. The plans are backed by £2.5 billion funding from government to deliver transport projects through to the early 2030's.
Every voice matters and views are invited from anyone with an interest in transport in Greater Manchester. See a full list of transport schemes, find out more and get involved by filling out the survey before Monday 9 March 2026.

How consultations work
Consultations provide a way of having a conversation about a subject. They allow you to get involved and give feedback, which helps us understand your ideas, views, concerns and opinions.
When a consultation closes, we will assess all responses and will act on the results. Working in this way helps to ensure our policies and and the services we deliver reflect your views and priorities.
Closed consultations
When consultations close, we will continue to list them for 6 months.
