Welcome to the 'Transport and Roads' section of the Cumbria County Council website. Using the links to the left, you will find a wide range of useful information, including:
Cumbria County Council is working to provide you with a transport network that will meet the needs of individuals and businesses in the 21st century. We are responsible not only for the thousands of miles of roads within Cumbria, but also footpaths, bridleways, cycleways and street lights. When snow and ice hit the network, we are responsible for keeping the network open, using our gritting and ploughing plan.
Organising public transport services so that they can work together to benefit consumers is also a major part of our work. Rail and bus timetables that are co-ordinated as far as possible, car parks close to stations, facilities for cyclists, etc all help to let the public transport network take the strain - reducing congestion and pollution. We continue to work with other transport agencies, including the Highways Agency, central Government, district councils and a wide range of local partners to create a harmonious and safe transport system.
