Greater Manchester Transportation Unit
ABOUT GMTU
Greater Manchester Transportation Unit (GMTU) is a specialist local authority unit which provides services for the local authorities of Greater Manchester.
We undertake work in two main ways:
- strategic work in support of the authorities as a whole
- local work commissioned by individual authorities
Our strategic work is focused on support for the Greater Manchester Local Transport Plan (LTP): its preparation, implementation and monitoring. We are actively involved in supporting the joint working of the authorities in most aspects of the LTP, including: walking, cycling, signing, road accident prevention, traffic management, major schemes, smarter choices, air quality, congestion, accessibility.
Our local work is tailored to the needs of the local authorities. For example we,
- design and process surveys for school travel plans
- undertake a large number of traffic (including cycle) and pedestrian counts for monitoring and planning purposes
- undertake transport planning projects for individual development sites.
The unit is managed by:
John Rice, Greater Manchester Strategic Transport Manager
