We were set up by the Welsh Government to change the way Wales travels. We're making sustainable transport the natural choice, helping to combat the climate emergency. It's a big job. We want to inspire people to change their behaviour, doing their bit for all our futures by travelling in ways that are kinder to our planet.
To do this, we’re building a multimodal, integrated transport network that includes trains, buses, walking and cycling.
There’s a lot to be done if we’re going to transform the way an entire nation travels. So it’s vital that everyone at TfW is clear: why we do what we do, where we’re heading and how we need to act to get there.
This is where our vision, mission, purpose and values come in. These aren’t empty words that get hung on a meeting room wall. They’re for all of us to use as we go about our work every day. We’re all responsible for delivering them.
We're safe, sustainable, cost-effective and convenient. And that's why our decisions always focus on these four things. People's experience is central to all we do and this is how we make sure it's always as positive as possible. Even in challenging situations.
We're not just here for today, we're also firmly focused on the future. That means finding better ways to do things as we go. We encourage one another to perform at our best and improve, continually.
One network, one timetable, one ticket, one team. Across all we do, we share a single goal: to positively transform travel, however someone chooses to make their journey.
