Central Salford Integrated Transport Strategy

Central Salford Integrated Transport Strategy Front Cover

The location of Central Salford with its 72,000 residents, two railway stations, one Metrolink line and 50 bus routes, all within a three mile radius, makes it one of the most fitting and sustainable locations in the North West for large scale regeneration. However all the major traffic routes across Central Salford and into the Regional Centre are already heavily congested and further traffic growth and increased congestion could have a very real impact on the potential for the area to create over 20,000 new homes and approximately 30,000 new jobs.

For the regeneration of Central Salford to be a success, existing travel patterns need to be changed to match those currently more prevalent in the Regional Centre where a greater proportion of journeys are made by modes of transport which are more sustainable than the car.
