Local Transport Plan and Other DFT Funding

The AccessBus service provides door to door transport to local facilities within each district of West Yorkshire and is mainly aimed at those with limited mobility.

This project will completely resurface the carriageway at Bradford Interchange to tackle known issues at the site.

West Yorkshire Combined Authority is working together with the City Region’s major bus companies, Arriva, First, Transdev and the Association of Bus Operators in West Yorkshire on a new ambitious partnership, Bus 18.

Buses are vital to West Yorkshire, its people, its businesses and its economy. Each week people in West Yorkshire make over 3.5 million journeys on local bus services, making them the most highly used form of public transport.

The aim of this project was to upgrade the CCTV system that covers the Combined Authority’s 26 bus stations with new digital equipment that delivered better results and significant ongoing cost savings.

CityConnect is a West Yorkshire Combined Authority project designed to encourage more people to take part in active travel – such as cycling or walking – by creating high quality cycling infrastructure alongside engagement initiatives such as cycle training, cycle challenges, business and school support and behaviour change campaigns.

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority and our Partner Councils are working to deliver a wide ranging programme of proposals to create more space for cycling and walking, funded through the DfT’s Active Travel funding.

We want to create a world class public transport system that connects different modes of transport seamlessly into one comprehensive, easy-to-use network.

The Local Transport Plan Strategy from 2011 – 2026 has a vision to develop a transport system that gives people access to what they want easily, efficiently and in a way that supports the environment, the economy and quality of life.

Investing in Safer, Cleaner, More Accessible and More Efficient Bus Stations

The Transforming Travel Centres project funded by the LTP IP3 programme and involvs the refurbishment of Bradford Interchange and Huddersfield Bus Station Travel Centres. This is part of a wider programme of improvements to bus stations.

Our ambition is to ensure that we make best use of our existing and future transport assets. We aim to ensure our transport networks are fit for the future and properly managed in a safe, sustainable, environmentally friendly and cost effective way.

Combined Authority is leading the way to put cycling and walking at the centre of the region’s recovery to COVID 19

Bradford, Calderdale, Craven, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds, Selby, Wakefield and York are set to benefits from projects designed to improve dramatically people’s access to public transport, cycling and walking.

"I am pleased to see the government finally recognising buses' importance, says Cllr Groves

"HS2 is a critical component of our established plans to transform the region, so we very much welcome the government’s go-ahead to deliver the project in full," says Cllr Judith Blake

The redeveloped bus station will be an important transport hub and gateway into Halifax town centre, making changing between transport modes simple and improving connectivity with near level walking routes to key destinations across the town centre, such as Dean Clough, The Piece Hall and the new Halifax Sixth Form College.
