To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Recognises the importance of a modern public transport network to relieve
pressure on Wales’s road network.
2.
Notes the evidence that a fully integrated public transport system - including
active travel - is needed to provide a practical and attractive alternative to
car use.
3.
Welcomes the commitment to the first stages of a south Wales metro.
4.
Endorses the commitment to develop a vision for a north-east Wales metro, and
the allocation of funding for the development of a strategic outline case for a
Swansea Bay metro, and calls on the Welsh Government to identify funding for
full feasibility studies as a next step.
5.
Believes Transport for Wales must have the power to act as a development
corporation - with the ability to capitalise on rising land values in areas
close to metro stations - in order to lever in further funding to expand the
metro network.
