The Eddington Transport Study, the case for action
Summary
The UK transport system currently supports 61 billion journeys a year.
It is already clear that some parts of the system are under severe strain and significant transport challenges are looming.
This Study demonstrates that the performance of the UK’s transport networks will be crucial to sustained productivity and competitiveness.
The Report suggests that the strategic economic priorities for long term transport policy should be growing and congested urban areas, key inter-urban corridors and key international gateways, and examine the possibilities for road pricing, road building, rail and airport investment and the planning system.
