1. The Challenges
![Page 5: Strategies for the Midlands Transport Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56814326550346895daf9103/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Challenge 1: Boundaries don't apply

Challenge 2 – Population GrowthProjected population growth by 2033:
• Metropolitan Area: 268,000 additional people
• Wider West Midlands Area: at least 311,000 additional people
• Midlands Area: further 400,000 people approx
• TOTAL: 1M additional people
![Page 7: Strategies for the Midlands Transport Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56814326550346895daf9103/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Working on behalf of the metropolitan local authorities to promote an integrated transport network that supports growth and well-being
• Based on LEP Strategic Economic Plans covering Midlands area, project job creation will be at least:+ 150,000 additional jobs in WM met area+ 265,000 further jobs in wider WM area+ 245,000 further jobs in wider Midlands area
= Total additional jobs of 660,000
• In summary - more population growth than job growth in Midlands area
• In longer term, travel patterns will continue to evolve across the Midlands
Challenge 3 – Job Creation

Challenge 3– Ensuring Transport Networks Support Growth

2. Our Emerging Approach
– Better Midlands Working
![Page 11: Strategies for the Midlands Transport Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56814326550346895daf9103/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Working on behalf of the metropolitan local authorities to promote an integrated transport network that supports growth and well-being
• The West Midlands has an established set of proposals to link people with jobs; business with employees
• Two main strands of a balanced approach:- a rail and rapid transit network- ensuring highways are reliable and support road movements including freight
• Views the West Midlands Journey to Work Area
• However, growth in the wider Midlands means there are patterns and opportunities we need to fully understand
The ‘Supply’ Side of our Economy
![Page 12: Strategies for the Midlands Transport Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56814326550346895daf9103/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

New Approach: ‘Midlands Connect’ Study
• A new approach to working as a single economic area reflecting existing and future transport trends
• Study aims to develop the strongest possible evidence and case for investment across the Midlands area- Phase One: focus on assessing where connectivity improvements are likely to have the greatest long-term benefit on employment and the economy.
- Phase Two: Package of intervention, fully assessed to identify economic and environmental benefits.
• Being developed with Network Rail, Highways Agency and Local Enterprise Partnerships in west and east Midlands
![Page 14: Strategies for the Midlands Transport Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56814326550346895daf9103/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Working on behalf of the metropolitan local authorities to promote an integrated transport network that supports growth and well-being
• Strategic Economic Plans (SEP) outlined LEP proposals to maximise the economic potential of their area
• Included transport interventions to support an economy or unlock developments
• Whilst long term documents, inevitably short term focus on deliverable schemes reflecting Local Growth Fund
• Desire to build on SEPs and maximise Advanced Manufacturing opportunities by better understanding needs
The ‘Demand’ Side of our Economy
![Page 15: Strategies for the Midlands Transport Infrastructure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56814326550346895daf9103/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

“Advanced Manufacturing Infrastructure Study”
• Proposed to be a Midlands study
• Focusing on developing a better understanding of the infrastructure needs of advanced manufacturing businesses
• Focused on Advanced Manufacturing, building on existing economic base and SEP aspirations
• Will cover energy, transport, communications
• Transport will include infrastructure and connectivity e.g. aviation etc
• Will better inform future strategy development
