Urban Transport Group announces new director 

Jason Prince has been appointed director of Urban Transport Group, the UK’s network of city region transport authorities.

Prince is currently head of public affairs for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), a position he has held for more than three years, and prior to this, he worked for Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) for four years.

He will take up the post of director in early July 2023.

Rebecca Fuller, assistant director of the Urban Transport Group, is acting as interim director until this time, following the departure of former director Jonathan Bray earlier this month.

Prince said: “These are tough times for urban and local transport, but by harnessing the expertise of our members, we can meet these challenges head on. The Urban Transport Group is perfectly placed to develop the right policies and to provide the right solutions that will help our local places thrive.
