This has been identified by local authorities across the UK as a significant barrier for effective delivery, and UK100 has an active campaign on this issue. Funding reform will incentivise and support local authorities and their regional partners to design and deliver active, public, and shared transport outcomes in an integrated way through place-based transformation programmes and should: • allow cities and regional partners to invest in the capacity and R&D they need to build large scale transformation programmes. • coordinate investment into, and delivery of low carbon active, public and shared transport outcomes in a timely, coordinated way. • improve the integration of sustainable transport outcomes with regional plans, neighbourhood regeneration and new developments. • increase the flexibility of local authorities and regional partners to rapidly respond to new opportunities to deliver agreed outcomes. • align with delivery of long-term city transformation plans / transport strategies / mobility plans. 3 • speed up delivery through efficient and smart deployment of government funds. 3.
