Transport for Greater Manchester Committee Minutes - 16 June 2017 PDF 77 KB The GMCA is asked to endorse TfGMC’s decision to approve transport policy priorities for 2017/18 as per the extract below.
The report is appended to the minutes.
A report was presented which highlighted the policy priorities that the Committee will recommend to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to adopt for the forthcoming year.
It was noted that the Policy Priorities would concentrate on the following activities for 2017-18:
• Transport Strategy 2040 • Bus reform • Air quality • Active Travel (cycling and walking) • Rail Station transfer • Capital Programme
A Member highlighted that Bredbury was one of many railway stations in Greater Manchester which are inaccessible for passengers with disabilities and enquired as to when such stations would be compliant to allow passengers with disabilities to use the rail network. In response, the Chair highlighted that the Committee had campaigned for many years to seek Government funding for station improvements.
In addition, it was noted that proposals for Railway Station Devolution had been submitted to Government for consideration and that the GM Mayor had written to the Secretary of State to accelerate the decision process.
A Member highlighted the good work undertaken by Friends of Station groups and explained that some support from the operator had been patchy at Altrincham station.
A Member fed back the positive comments which he had received from the National Institute for the Blind which praised the layout and accessibility of Metrolink stops for passengers with visual impairments, and suggested that similar designs and proposals be introduced at railway stations.
