Well-integrated, accessible and inclusive transport will improve travel choice and benefit the health and wellbeing of everyone<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alongside this vision, six objectives that the LTP4 will help to achieve have been identified:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decarbonisation<\/li>\n<li>Easier travel<\/li>\n<li>Reliability and resilience<\/li>\n<li>Unlocking development<\/li>\n<li>Greater places for people<\/li>\n<li>The place to be naturally active<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We have produced a short video to introduce the LTP4 and outline its key proposals.
