Roles and responsibilities
The Transport Planning team develops transport strategies and policies and provides expert advice on new developments and schemes. This supports sustainable economic growth and enables citizens of Devon to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
In fulfilling these roles, the team carries out tasks including:
- working with design teams to get projects ‘shovel-ready’
- preparing technical reports and business cases to influence funding bodies and decision-makers
- providing input to Local Plans and major development proposals, ensuring transport links meet the needs of Devon residents
- ensuring walking and cycling opportunities are maximised in transport projects
- co-ordinating the collection and processing of transport-related data
- monitoring the impacts of previous schemes and initiatives
- working at a regional level to respond to national policy and consultations
The below video summarises some of the work we are doing, in collaboration with various partners, to decarbonise transport across Devon:
