The Local Transport Plan (LTP) is a statutory document which sets out a strategy for the management, maintenance and development of the County's transport system.

The LTP explains how funds, largely allocated by the Government, will be used to deliver improved transport and help meet the key objectives for transport established by both government and local authorities.

We are currently undertaking consultation on the third LTP which will cover the whole of Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset. We are seeking your views on current transport issues.

Find out what the Local Transport Plan is about and have your say in the development of transport policies in the area.

Currently, the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the LTP3 is available to download (opens in a new window) and is open for comments from the 14th April 2010 to 21st may 2010.
