The government recognises the importance of a secure and resilient transport system. As set out in the National Resilience: Annual Statement on 14 July 2026, the government will publish a Transport Resilience Strategy before the end of this (calendar) year. The strategy will set out how we will work across the transport sector to increase resilience to the wide range of risks we face, so that disruption is reduced and the everyday experience of people and businesses who use the transport network is improved.

The department is already taking forward work to strengthen transport resilience, including through the Climate Adaptation Strategy for Transport and work to improve understanding of cross-sector interdependencies and single points of failure across the transport network.
