In January 2012 the Department for Transport (DfT) started its consultation on the devolution of major scheme funding. Devolution means that new Local Transport Bodies (LTBs) will decide on what major transport schemes they want to invest in – given the pot of money available to them. In September, the Department set out its recommendations, the next steps in the process and a programme to 2015, after which funding decisions will be made by Local Transport Bodies. In October, Authorities confirmed with the DfT their geographic boundaries for their new LTB.

Steer Davies Gleave is delighted to have topped the shortlist for the Transport Consultant of the Year award at the 12th annual National Transport Awards.

The National Transport Awards, presented by the Transport Times, is a prestigious event recognising excellence throughout the UK's transport industry.

Around a year ago (November 2011) we ran a survey comparing three visions for the future of Electric Vehicles and asking transport professionals to say which they thought would be the most likely to come about. We’re now re-running this survey to see how views have changed and would like to invite you to participate: all you need to do is read the three visions and vote for one of them. Then, if you like, you can also put forward your own vision.
