The STEP (Smart Travel Evolution Programme) is delivering new technology to revolutionise travel and transport in York. The Council has £2.85m from the Department for Transport’s National Productivity Investment Fund (NPIF) to achieve this. City of York Council is holding a Supplier Day at the National Railway Museum in York on the 23rd November to engage with industry, present the challenges and opportunities this programme creates and start to prepare for procurement – the Council are particularly keen to get SMEs and new entrants into the roads transport technology sector involved.

York is the UK’s first-gigabit city, and STEP will make York the first small city to combine data, technology and connected people and vehicles to deliver our policy aims.
