Autumn Budget Submission 2024
Ahead of the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget, ITS UK has published its submission, setting out five key priorities for the industry.
The document calls for Government to:
- Deliver a roadmap to the introduction of mobility pricing, that incentivises the fairer and sustainable use of the transport network.
- Leverage technology to achieve the UK’s ambitions for the Strategic Road Network, through the maintenance and the renewal of current technology, alongside the introduction of new solutions.
- Support Demand Responsive Transport by putting it on an independent regulatory footing with equivalent VAT treatment to other modes of public transport.
- Provide a different approach to the procurement of transport technology that supports funding for operational expenditure for local authorities.
- Support a strategic approach to the integration of transport, both through support for mobility as a service and smart ticketing technologies.
