North East Transport Plan

The North East Transport Plan sets out our region’s transport aspirations up to 2035. It brings to life our transport aspirations and includes a live programme of around 243 schemes which equal at least £6.8bn of transport investment – a figure which will grow over the lifespan of the Plan.
This programme will help to make a big difference to the lives of people in the North East – our health, our environment and our economy. For years our region has seen dramatically lower levels of transport investment than other areas of the country. Our Plan will address this imbalance and boost spending on schemes which will be ‘game-changing’ for the North East and how we travel each day.
The Plan covers the seven local authority areas of our two combined authorities: The North East Combined Authority (Durham, Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland), and The North of Tyne Combined Authority (Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside and Northumberland).
