Northern Way Transport Compact

The Northern Way established the Northern Way Transport Compact to provide advice on transport priorities at the pan-northern level linked to productivity. Chaired by Professor David Begg, the Compact included City Regional, private sector and RDA members from the North's three regions. The Compact led the development of the Northern Way's Transport Strategic Direction and Priorities as well as subsequent work.

The Compact met on seventeen occasions between 2006 and 2011. Compact papers and the minutes of Compact meetings can be accessed below.

Establishing the Compact

Having set an initial proposition for the Compact in a discussion paper, the Northern Way undertook an informal consultation with stakeholders to assist in the development of the Compact's remit and membership. This was followed in June 2005 by a formal consultation and an analysis of responses to this.

• The Northern Transport Compact - Discussion Paper (February 2005)
• The Northern Transport Compact Consultation Event (March 2005)
• The Northern Transport Compact: A Proposal (June 2005)
• Summary & Analysis of Consultation on the Northern Transport Compact Proposal (September 2005)
