Transport for West Midlands
We are Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). We strive for a vibrant region fuelled by transport choices that are not just inclusive and fair, but appealing. We're here to offer options that people want to use, all while positively shaping our community, improving the local environment, and boosting the health and happiness of our residents.
Our purpose is to ensure there are journeys for everyone so as a combined authority, we can create a better connected, more prosperous, fairer, greener and healthier region.
Our team is proud of what we do. It's not just about helping our residents and visitors travel safely, reliably, and affordably – it's about creating journey’s that people want to repeat and are accessible to everyone. We’re motivated to not just maintain, but enhance our local surroundings, and champion a transport system that leaves a lasting, sustainable legacy, touching every corner of our community.
As an organisation, we do many things to make our transport system function most effectively for the customer and deliver experiences that they want to repeat.
We plan:
We work across the WMCA, with local authorities and their communities to help the region secure powers and funding to develop strategies and solutions that not only address current needs but pave the way for the future, ensuring that we consistently stay one step ahead.
Build:
From metro extensions to priority bus routes to new rail stations to world-class ticketing solutions, we are working with partners to build a transport system that delivers for the everyday needs of the West Midlands.
Operate:
And once its built, we make sure that we continuously improve it to meet the changing demands of the traveling public. As well as what we build, we also manage activities and schemes to ensure the transport experience lives up to the expectations.
Through all of this, we empower our team to be collaborative, driven, inclusive and innovative. Working with partners, we combine our expertise and energy, to work in the best interests of the transport user and residents of the West Midlands.
