The UK Government has published a transport resilience strategy, which aims to strengthen the transport sector's resilience over the next 5 to 10 years. This strategy sets out the government's approach to building a more resilient transport system, recognizing the vital role transport plays in connecting people and goods, and supporting economic growth and health.
The transport system faces increasingly complex and unpredictable threats, and its interconnectedness means that disruptions can have far-reaching consequences. The government's strategy acknowledges that resilience is essential to the operations of businesses and transport operators, and cannot be treated as an optional extra.
The publication of the transport resilience strategy follows the release of a resilience action plan in July 2025, which outlined the government's strategic approach to building resilience in a volatile and uncertain world. The new strategy puts this approach into practice for the transport sector, providing direction for the next 5 to 10 years.
The UK Government's transport resilience strategy is now available, outlining the government's plan to strengthen the transport system's resilience.
