Our Projects: Transport
Overview
The CPIER concluded that a package of infrastructure measures to alleviate the growing pains of Cambridge should be considered the number one priority for the region. The Transport Group works to address that priority through:
- Promoting modal shift – exploring micro-mobility possibilities including e-bikes and e-scooters
- Market town connectivity - exploring the transport links between Cambridge and surrounding market towns.
