The transport resilience strategy sets out the government’s approach to strengthening the resilience of the UK transport system over the next 5 to 10 years.
It explains how government will work with industry and local partners in relation to the transport system to:
- understand risks
- reduce vulnerabilities
- improve preparedness for disruption across the transport system
The strategy sets out what the UK Government Resilience Action Plan means in practice for the transport sector, by applying its 3 primary objectives for transport:
-
Continuously assess how resilient the UK transport sector is, so interventions and resources can be targeted effectively.
-
Enable the whole transport system, including transport users, to take action to increase resilience.
-
Strengthen government’s transport resilience capabilities.
It also sets out practical measures to improve:
- risk assessment
- horizon scanning
- exercising
- local collaboration
The strategy also commits to delivering a tailored transport resilience training package for transport operators and local partners alongside a transport sector-wide network to support collaboration, share learning and strengthen resilience across the system.
