The area covered by Transport for the South East (TfSE) stretches from the English Channel to London, and from the Kent coast to Berkshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Not only does this area include major airports, ports, roads and rail routes, it is also a powerful economic motor for the whole of the UK by making a significant contribution to the national economy.
TfSE aims to support and grow the economy by choosing the right priorities for transport investment. This also means improvements for everyone who relies on the transport system, with more reliable journeys free of congestion, and the possible introduction of integrated smart ticketing across the area.
TfSE has developed a transport strategy for the South East that guides its advice to Government on transport investment.
