Local transport plans
The Local Transport Plan (LTP) is a statutory requirement of the Local Transport Act 2008. It is a key tool for delivering integrated transport at a local level.
The LTP contributes towards achieving the council's economic, environmental and social objectives. This is done by planning for infrastructure and initiatives to help people and goods travel around.
Moving from LTP3 to LTP4
Leicestershire’s LTP3 is coming to an end in 2026, and will no longer be in line with national planning, transport, or environmental policy.
