Innovation and future transport

We test innovative transport products and services so that we can learn how to make progress towards our emerging vision for the region.

We work with businesses, public bodies, charities and higher education to:

  • Conduct user research
  • Investigate business and operating models
  • Introduce new products and services
  • Evaluate the impact on residents, visitors and the local economy
