Our Local Transport Plan

Overview

The Transport Plan Act, 2000 requires all Local Authorities to publish a Local Transport Plan (LTP).

LTP’s are strategic policy documents that set out long-term priorities for transport and are supported by more detailed action plans.

Local Transport Plan 5

Our current adopted LTP (LTP5) was published in September 2026.

LTP5 guides all of our work on transport, including strategy development, bidding and scheme development.

What the LTP5 covers

LTP5 outlines our vision, objectives and policies for transport up until 2045.

Our vision for transport in Buckinghamshire, is that by 2045 it will be easier for our residents to travel to work, school or college, shop, use public services and visit friends or leisure destinations.

LTP5 is supported by several more detailed supporting strategies:

It has also been developed to align with:

How the LTP5 was written

To write the LTP5, we:

  • reviewed the policies in LTP4 and researched best practice
  • reviewed evidence to identify the challenges and issues which the LTP5 should address
  • developed the vision and objectives alongside the new Local Plan and consulted on them between April and June 2023
  • consulted on a full draft of the LTP5 in early 2026
  • updated the draft strategy based on feedback from the consultation

The final strategy was adopted by Full Council in September 2026.

How we consider the environment

LTP5 has been informed by an Integrated Sustainability Appraisal (ISA) and a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA).

These assessments of policies and strategies help us:

  • protect Buckinghamshire's unique environments and countryside
  • meet our climate change, air quality and health objectives
