Transport is one of the Government's top priorities. The Department for Transport was created to provide a sharper focus on delivering the Government's strategy, and the improvements in service that the public expects.

Our aim is to create a transport system that works for everyone - one that balances and considers the needs of the economy, the environment and society as a whole. We work towards this by providing leadership across the transport sector, and by delivering services through regional partners throughout the country.

We shape the strategies that keep the country moving, whether by rail or road, air or sea. In everything we do, we aim for innovation, quality and value for money.

The challenges we face change all the time. To ensure that we continue to meet them, we are looking to strengthen our team.
