• The transformation of Bradford Interchange, with enhanced connectivity to the city centre, improved integration between local bus and rail routes, and new infrastructure to support the active travel modes of walking and cycling.
• New Park and Ride facilities to ease congestion in the busy city centre and to improve air quality.
• Major improvements to the A6177 outer ring road to provide additional capacity on the local road network and enable more local journeys to be made by bus, bicycle or on foot.
Andy Clarke, Integrated Transport Director, said: "We are delighted to be building on our six-year relationship with Bradford Council with our reappointment as Strategic Delivery Partner. This is an exciting time as the Bradford district prepares to take on the mantle of UK City of Culture in 2025. We look forward to working closely with the council's contractor to assure the sustainable and efficient construction of vital new infrastructure."
