Peninsula Transport is a new partnership created to transform transport and boost economic growth. It has been formed by the five lead transport authorities in the Peninsula – Cornwall Council, Devon County Council, Torbay Council, Plymouth Council and Somerset County Council.

The partnership brings together the area’s five transport authorities to work directly with the Department for Transport on the strategic transport priorities for  the region.  It will involve both the Heart of the South West and Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnerships, alongside Highways England, Homes England and Network Rail.  Peninsula Transport will be seeking approval from the Secretary of State in due course to become a Sub National Transport Body (SNTB) which allows strategic transport investment decisions to be made at a local level rather than nationally.
