The Department for Transport has launched a call for evidence to help develop the government\u2019s future of rural transport strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The strategy looks at how the benefits of transport innovation can be enjoyed by everyone, including those living and working in rural areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking at the Financial Times\u2019 Future of Mobility conference, the Minister is challenging business and transport groups to help revolutionise travel in the UK\u2019s towns, villages and hard-to-reach areas, making it easier for people to access jobs, education or healthcare.<\/span><\/p>\n

The call for evidence will examine how to bring services and communities into the 21st century by improving transport reliability and connectivity in people\u2019s everyday lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The distance between a person\u2019s home and their nearest mass transport hub is often around 5 miles in rural areas, making it a major barrier to accessing public transport and services. The call for evidence looks at how linking different digital platforms together could create a more seamless experience for people, allowing them to plan, book and pay for travel all in one place, and to link journeys over multiple modes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The call for evidence will also look at how the increased popularity of e-bikes, alongside digital-mapping technology and apps, could encourage more active travel in rural communities. This, along with better access to walking and cycling routes, could help open active routes that could otherwise go unknown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opportunities for drones to make deliveries in rural or isolated towns and areas are also being explored. Particularly suited to the greater distances in rural areas, drone deliveries could cut down delivery times and help to reduce pollution, allowing rural locations the potential to be a trailblazer for low-carbon deliveries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evidence will also be sought on how \u2018micromobility\u2019 transport methods \u2013 such as e-cargo bikes \u2013 could be integrated into rural transport networks, helping drive the changing face of rural economies and making home-based businesses more accessible to markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The feasibility of fully automated and passenger services operating in rural areas will also be examined, and small electric aircraft may be able to move goods and people efficiently, particularly in communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
