Partner Organisations and Forums
WHO WE WORK WITH
Collaboration is central to Peninsula Transport’s approach. By working together across local authorities, partners, and communities, we combine knowledge, skills, and resources to shape a smarter, more connected transport future for the South West.
Partnership Working
We work closely with co-opted members, key stakeholders from the public and private sectors, and our neighbouring Sub-national Transport Body (Western Gateway) to define and deliver the strategic transport priorities for much of South West England.
Co-opted Members
Our co-opted members play a vital role in supporting the five local transport authorities, helping to ensure a joined-up approach to transforming the region’s transport network.
They include:
- National Highways
-
Homes England
-
Network Rail
- Department of Transport
-
Western Gateway STB
Other STBs
Sub-national Transport Bodies (STBs) play a significant role in planning the future of transport. Each STB is tasked by Government with:
-
Developing a long-term transport strategy
-
Identifying regional investment priorities
-
Supporting schemes that boost economic growth at both regional and national scales
The other STBs are:
Freight Forum

Meeting quarterly, the Forum covers Aviation, Maritime, Rail and Road. provides operates under clear terms of reference.
