Local Transport Plan 4
Thank you to everyone who took part in the Local Transport Plan 4 (LTP4) consultation.
The consultation has now closed and we’re carefully reviewing all the feedback received. Your views are incredibly valuable and will help shape the final version of the plan, which we expect to publish next spring. Once the consultation reports are ready, you’ll be able to view them here.
Help Shape the Future of Transport in Dorset and Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole
We’re working together with Dorset Council to develop our new joint Local Transport Plan (LTP4) - a long-term strategy that will guide transport improvements across the region for the next 15 years.
This plan will replace the current LTP3, which ends in 2026, and we want your views to help shape it.
Phases
Draft Strategy Consultation
Have your say
We held an initial public engagement in 2024 and have used the feedback from that to create a draft Local Transport Plan supported by a draft Implementation Plan. This outlines proposed policies and projects across Dorset to help achieve the plan’s vision
Whether you're a resident, visitor, business, or part of the community we now want to know your views on the draft strategy.
The survey is hosted by Dorset Council - you can take part here. If you’d like more background information before responding, you’ll find it here.
Deadline to respond: 11:59pm on 20 October 2025
What we will do with your consultation feedback
The more responses we receive, the better we can represent local priorities and build confidence in the proposed direction. Your views will help shape the final version.
Every response will be carefully reviewed and considered before final decisions are made. We will then publish a summary of the feedback received and explain how it influenced the final Local Transport Plan.
A final version of the plan is expected to be published in spring 2026.
