The Transport for the North Annual Conference will take place on Monday 6 March from 10:30 to 16:00 at The Crowne Plaza, Newcastle.

It will bring together the region’s political and business leaders, government and industry representatives to discuss the initial findings of the Northern Powerhouse Independent Economic Review (NPIER), a reminder of the importance of continuing to work together in making the case for investment in the North’s infrastructure and services.

The event will also provide an opportunity to discuss our refreshed Strategic Transport Plan (STP), and the implementation of our Decarbonisation Strategy, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) Framework, as well as our work on Freight and Logistics, Active Travel and Rural Mobility.
