Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she has taken to consult with groups representing motorcyclists to inform the Integrated National Transport Strategy for England.

The department has conducted extensive research and engagement with stakeholders and members of the public to inform the strategy. We have heard directly from motorcyclists and motorcycle representative groups, including the Motorcycle Action Group, through our Call for Ideas which closed with 6,340 responses and an 11-stop Regional Roadshow across England.

The insights gathered through our engagement activities have been analysed and have directly informed the strategy. The strategy will seek to address the main barriers people face in accessing good transport that were identified through our engagement.

Officials also met bilaterally with the Motorcycle Action Group on 29 August 2025 to respond to a range of matters of concern to motorcyclists which included an update on the development of the strategy. An update was also provided at a meeting of the officials-led Motorcycle Strategic Focus Group on 15 September 2025, chaired by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.
