When will the proposed Rapid Transport System be available?

In August 2019 the Government awarded £30million from the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) towards the first phase of the Rapid Transport Scheme (RTS).

This will be used to develop a route through Colchester from the Park and Ride in North Colchester through the Town Centre and onward to the Garden Community.

The route through the Garden Community will be agreed through the planning process and will allow for accessibility to the scheme from the very start of the delivery of new housing.

We are ambitious as to the use of new technology for the RTS and a modern tram-style system is our aspiration as soon as it can be delivered.
