Have your say on Supertram’s future

South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) is holding a public consultation until October 30 to find out what people think about Supertram, how the network could be developed or improved, and how services could fit with other transport.

Consultation feedback will help transport leaders draft an investment strategy that will seek Government funding to prepare Supertram for the future, and allow services to operate for another 30 years.

SYPTE executive director, Stephen Edwards, said: “Supertram supports Sheffield's modern identity and has connected people to jobs, education and leisure in the city centre and beyond for over 21 years.

“Whilst we continue to make significant investment in the network, parts of the system are coming to the end of their working life and the time is right for us to consider how Supertram can best support the evolving needs of the region.

“SYPTE's current concession agreement for Supertram’s services is ready for renewal in March 2024.

“So it is time for us to start putting plans in place to make sure Supertram is fit for the future.

“The important views of residents and businesses across Sheffield City Region will help to shape our investment strategy to prepare the network for its next chapter.”
