Local Transport Plan

A plan, looking five years ahead, prepared by county councils and unitary authorities, for local transport projects. The plan sets out some targets and outlines the resources predicted for delivery of these targets. It is used to bid for funding of transport improvements by central government. Local Transport Plans should be consistent with the policies and priorities set out in the Regional Transport Strategy (an integral part of the Regional Spatial Strategy) and the Development Plan Documents: i.e. where aspects of the plan relate to and have implications for development.
