This includes supporting improved bus travel around the West Midlands region and the local authorities within the WMCA region.

This corridor was highlighted by all the local bus providers within reports produced detailing the areas of highest congestion along bus routes. Working with DMBC, TfWM have identified three key junctions along the A491 corridor where network management could be greatly improved with the addition of some key technology. The junctions identified for upgrading are: - D0445 - A491 High Street / Vicarage Road - D0444 - A491 High Street / Woollaston Road / Collis Street - D0443 - A491 High Street / Brettell Lane / Platts Road As part of the continued delivery of improved and innovative traffic signal network management across the region there is an immediate requirement to procure specialist consultancy support to deliver the above requireemnts.
