A focus of Northern Way transport activity was responding to Government and transport industry consultations, as well as calls for evidence from the House of Commons Transport Committee.
Each of these submissions was built on the foundations of the Northern Way Growth Strategy, the Strategic Direction for Transport and the Short, Medium and Long Term Transport Priorities, as well as the Northern Way's work on the strategic delivery gaps and building the evidential base on the interaction of transport and the economy.
Through making consultation responses the Northern Way influenced the policies and programmes of government departments, government agencies and the national delivery agencies. Consultation responses added value to the Northern Way's overall transport work programme.
