Mind the Regional Transport Connectivity Gap
- Enhanced connectivity attracts investments by making regions more accessible and attractive to businesses, which in turn stimulates competition, fosters agglomeration economies, and promotes regional development.
- In the post-Covid-19 era, the importance of transport connectivity has become even more pronounced. In 2023, traffic congestion cost the UK ？7.5 billion, with London ranking as Europe’s most congested city. Transport also contributes to environmental degradation, including air pollution, which affects public health and adds pressure to the NHS.
- A significantly smaller proportion of the population in Britain’s second-tier cities can reach the city centre within 30 minutes compared to the European average for similar locations. This underperformance has been attributed to transport issues.
- Rural areas tend to be less well-connected by public transport between towns and cities. Central parts of the United Kingdom show stronger inter-urban car connectivity during off-peak times. But, even during off-peak times, car travel between towns is less efficient, likely due to geographical isolation or a lack of major road networks.
- Urban areas in southern England experience both poor public transport connectivity and high congestion levels, making travel difficult regardless of whether people use cars or public transport. In contrast, rural regions benefit from lower congestion, particularly for inter-urban travel but continue to face inadequate public transport services.
- translating the Governments five strategic priorities for transport into effective actions will require concrete measures across several policy dimensions, such as investment in infrastructure, regulatory reform, environmental sustainability, and integration of emerging technologies. Targeted evidence-based policy interventions are essential to ensure equality and sustainable economic development.
