Expression of Interest - Mass Rapid Transit concept

Milton Keynes Council is seeking expressions of interest from those suppliers who are interested in assisting the Council with its Mass Rapid Transport Strategy development.

The Milton Keynes Strategy for 2050 (adopted by Council January 2021 as an annex to the Council Plan) presents a long-term growth strategy for the growth of Milton Keynes borough to a population of around 410,000 people (from around 270,000 people today), set within a context of growth across the wider Oxford-Cambridge Arc. Among its seven big ambitions the strategy aims to "make it easier for everyone to travel on foot, by bike and with better public transport". A major part of the strategy is to introduce a Mass Rapid Transit network for the city, helping people move about in a more energy efficient way. It will also support reduced dependence on private car travel, higher density development, improved accessibility and social inclusion, and decarbonisation. The strategy aims for a phased delivery of MRT so that a complete network is operational by 2050.
