Many important transport decisions are made on a regional level. To effect these decisions, lots of different groups concerned with sustainable transport work together through Regional Transport Activists' Roundtables (TARs). There are eight Regional TARs across England.
The North West Transport Activists Roundtable (NW TAR) focuses much of its efforts on trying to get sustainable transport and land use policies adopted at the regional and sub-regional level. Acting as an umbrella body on behalf of many organisations and individuals, we endeavour to influence emerging transport and planning strategies and decisions by taking part in a variety of fora, seminars and conferences, responding to strategic consultations, lobbying elected representatives, officers and board members of public and non-governmental bodies, appearing at public inquiries and examinations in public and serving on a number of regional bodies. From time to time we make submissions directly – or indirectly via national environmental and sustainable transport bodies – in response to national government invitations for comments on emerging transport policies and to inquiries being run by the House of Commons Transport Committee and we produce occasional reports aimed at influencing decision-makers on a wide range of transport-related issues.
