Local transport plan (LTP) 5
Our emerging LTP5 for Luton aims to make getting around easier, healthier and better for the environment.
We want to:
- reduce carbon emissions
- create a healthier Luton by encouraging more:
- walking
- cycling
- use of buses and trains
This plan supports our bigger goals for Luton 2040 which includes:
- reducing poverty
- including everyone
- tackling climate change
We'll outline specific policies, interventions and infrastructure to improve travel in Luton and nearby areas, making our town a better place to live for everyone.
Update on our new LTP5
As part of developing a new LTP for Luton, we've undertaken a comprehensive engagement process. Our key focus was gathering as much information and insights about local transport issues and opportunities and how to tackle them.
We engaged with a range of stakeholders, including:
- council officers
- councillors
- neighbouring authorities
- government agencies
- transport operators
- local businesses
- interest groups and charities
- young people
- schools
- members of the public
Throughout this engagement, we ran over 25 workshops and liaised with more than 20 of the largest businesses and organisations across Luton. In December 2024, we conducted a public survey to capture residents' views on local transport, receiving 630 responses, each providing invaluable insights.
We'd like to thank everyone who contributed invaluable insights to create a plan for improving transport, reducing carbon emissions, and creating a better environment for active travel. These efforts aim to reduce poverty in our town and tackle climate change in Luton. The results of our extensive engagement will be published in due course.
We're now developing the draft LTP ahead of a public consultation, planned for October to December 2025.
Our current LTP4
Our current LTP was adopted on 13 July 2021.
