Important that sustainable access is provided to wider employment and educational opportuntiies through local and regional services.
Important that there is strong correlation between this document and the principles set out in the WMRSS Policies T1-T12, the RTS and the West Midlands Local Transport Plan. In particular, as oulined in Policy T2 of the WMRSS, new development should be focused in areas that are well served by public transport. Encourage developments to be focused in areas with pre-existing public transport; also important that additional provision and improvements are made. Developments should be designed to ensure access to public transport along with the ability for residents to be able to walk and cycle locally.
