The transport system is continually evolving with new modes of travel, data and services being developed or delivered across the country. We recognise the need to monitor these developments and ensure the needs of people of Buckinghamshire are considered so that innovations deliver benefits for all. Our policies in this section seek to support transport innovation and position us as a living laboratory.
