The Government Office for the South West (GOSW) has commissioned Atkins to undertake a Strategic Transport Study to address the current and future transport needs within the Greater Bristol area.

The aim of this study is to develop an integrated transport strategy to address the impact of through traffic, particularly on the World Heritage City of Bath.

The study seeks to deal with strategic issues of determining and managing the most suitable routes and to make a detailed assessment, which will identify resources required to address the traffic and environmental problems in Bath caused by both through and local traffic.
