Description

The Department for Transport's objective is to oversee the delivery of a reliable, safe and secure transport system that responds efficiently to the needs of individuals and business whilst safeguarding our environment.

The Department's aim is transport that works for everyone.

To that end, it works in partnership with others to:

• tackle congestion;
• improve accessibility;
• reduce casualties;
• respect the environment; and

Good transport links, for moving people and goods, are vital to a successful and growing economy. The Department plays a key role in meeting these demands by providing the strategic framework for the delivery of transport services and by planning for future transport needs.
