The Department for Transport and ITS UK are jointly organising a workshop designed to help feed into the forthcoming Integrated National Transport Strategy and the DfT’s Data Action Plan, giving attendees the opportunity to share views and expertise to shape these two key policy documents
The Workshop will take place on from 10.30am to 3pm on Tuesday 3 June at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds.
The workshop will centre on key case studies developed by DfT and will ask participants to explore how applications of data can help in making the journeys described within the case studies more seamless.
Key Details:
– Date: Tuesday 3 June 2025
– Time: 10.30am to 3pm

This event is open to all, with DfT and ITS UK welcoming the following:
• National, regional and local transport authorities

ITS UK is encouragimng those attending to be ready to input into the workshops over the course of the day. A full agenda and case studies will be shared with delegates ahead of the event.
The Integrated National Transport Strategy will be published this year and set the long-term vision for transport in England, focusing on how transport should be designed, built and operated to better serve all people who use it.
The Strategy will focus on the role transport plays in enabling access to opportunities including education and jobs, and support the devolution agenda and the creation of great places by setting out how local leaders will be enabled to deliver good transport that is right for their communities.
Alongside this, the Department for Transport are developing a Data Action Plan which will show how data can enable an integrated transport system. It will set out actions required to ensure transport data can support modal integration and deliver more accessible transport.
Data will play a critical role in achieving integrated transport. Often, it’s the journeys across different modes or regions that struggle to provide customers with clear information that helps improve their experience. Creating a more seamless flow across operators will be vital in delivering a truly integrated transport network.
