Delivering the Local Transport Strategies will support the County Council’s priorities to promote sustainable economic growth and secure investment in infrastructure. The Local Transport Strategies will benefit Surrey residents and businesses by accommodating sustainable population growth, helping to boost the economy and limit the impact of transport and development on the environment.

The strategies adhere to using a place-based approach to plan for future sustainable economic growth and address existing problems on the network. By considering issues locally, the transport strategies have been able to identify issues which residents feel most affect them in each District and Borough.

The Local Transport Strategies and Forward Programmes also support the Environment & Infrastructure priorities, specifically Themes 1, 2 and 4.
