Mass Transit will only succeed if businesses are at the heart of it.
Sign up nowAt the heart of our ambitious plans for regional economic growth lies the proposal to introduce trams to West Yorkshire.
We recognise that a thriving economy depends on an integrated transport system that fosters opportunity and growth. The momentum for our Mass Transit phase one proposals is building, and having support from businesses and stakeholders is crucial to making the vision a reality.
In 2024, the West Yorkshire Combined Authority sought input from the public and stakeholders on phase one of our Mass Transit scheme. This phase aims to connect Leeds city centre with Bradford city centre and south Leeds to St James’ Hospital. Following the release of our consultation findings in February, we are now preparing for our next consultation in early 2026.
The benefits of Mass Transit extend far beyond improved transportation; they include enhanced urban development, expanded job opportunities, and increased investment in our region.
By supporting this initiative, you will help create jobs, attract talent, and drive economic growth.
