Please note that this public consultation has now closed.

Thank you to all those who took part in the consultation. The full consultation outcome report, as well as an executive summary, is now available to view. The feedback recieved helped shape the now updated Vision.

The information below was presented during the public consultation between October 17 2022 to January 16 2023  .



What is our Mass Transit Vision 2040?

Mass Transit is a large-scale public transport system in a metropolitan area. Typically, Mass Transit would use one or more of modern, high-capacity buses, trams and tram-train vehicles.

Our Mass Transit Vision 2040 shows how Mass Transit will help make West Yorkshire’s public transport network more accessible and more inclusive, while also helping us achieve our aim of net zero carbon emissions by 2038.

What has happened so far:

In 2021, a public engagement was held on the Mass Transit Vision 2040 as part of the wider Connectivity Infrastructure Plan engagement. In this engagement, support for the Vision was strong, with around 80% of respondents saying they supported the Vision, either fully or in part.

All feedback received during the engagement was analysed and informed the revised version of the Vision. Additionally, a ‘You said, we did’ document was produced to reflect the comments received as part of the engagement. You can find this here or on the documents section of this page.

What is happening now?

A statutory consultation was held between 17 October 2022 to 16 January 2023 on the revised West Yorkshire Mass Transit 2040 Vision ahead of the final Vision being formally approved and implemented. We invited statutory consultees, key stakeholders and members of the public to share their views on the revised Vision.

We received 240 survey responses and numerous letters and emails. We are currently analysing these responses and an outcome report will be publish on this page once available.
