The SRN IR sets out our priorities for the SRN Focusing on operations, maintenance and renewals Next generation of transformational schemes – A303, LTC, OxCam Building the Smart Motorway spine of the network Accelerating the rollout of expressways A balanced programme, with a renewed focus on small schemes Refined designated funds Laying a foundation for the future

Modal Integration Our regional spatial planning teams work extensively with local planning departments across the country to reduce road reliance and manage the travel demand created by new development. We also have a relatively new and deeper relationship going with Network Rail – meeting regularly and have identified quite a programme of things to be working on together – for example looking at potential locations for strategic park and rides to support commuter movements. The other thing I wanted to mention here is the way that Highways England has a bit more freedom than its predecessor to invest off-network in projects that improve SRN movements. We are for example investing in various cycle routes, cycle and pedestrian bridges and public transport measures through our cycling, safety and integration designated fund, and through our Growth & Housing Fund investing in several schemes on local roads that ease pressure on the SRN.
