Transport East promotes a collective vision for the future of transport in Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock
Transport East's size is its strength; giving the partnership greater coherency and building on a strong history of collaborative working in the region.
The Transport East Board is led by political representatives from Highways and Transport Authorities and Local Planning Authorities, and representatives from business, and National Highways and Network Rail.
