CIHT Cymru Wales is excited to offer this next instalment in the joint institutions CPD series with ICE, CILT, TfW & Welsh Government on exploring Wales' Regional Transport Plans with representatives from all 4 CJCs.
Join us for a timely and informative webinar exploring Wales’s four Regional Transport Plans (RTPs). This joint event hosted by CIHT, ICE and CILT in partnership with Welsh Government offers a unique opportunity for transport professionals to hear directly from those involved in shaping the future of mobility across Wales.
The RTPs play a vital role in delivering the ambitions of Wales’ National Transport Delivery Plan, ensuring a cohesive and sustainable transport network that meets the needs of communities and supports decarbonisation, economic growth, and social inclusion.
This session is designed for professionals working across the transport and infrastructure sectors, including planners, engineers, logistics specialists, and policymakers an interest in the development and delivery of transport strategy in Wales.
The Regional Transport Plans (RTPs) are strategic documents developed by four Corporate Joint Committees (CJCs) covering North, Mid, South West and South East Wales.
They set out a long-term vision and delivery framework for transport within their regions. Aligned with the Welsh Government’s National Transport Delivery Plan and wider policy goals, the RTPs aim to improve connectivity, promote sustainable and active travel, support economic development, and contribute to the decarbonisation of the transport system. They are a key mechanism for ensuring that local and regional transport priorities are coordinated, evidence-led, and contribute to a more equitable and efficient transport network across Wales.
