Mae ymgynghoriad Comisiwn Trafnidiaeth De-ddwyrain Cymru, ‘Dweud eich Dweud’, bellach wedi cau. Diolch i bawb a gymerodd o’r amser i gyfrannu.

Yn y cyfamser, byddwch yn gallu gweld cynnwys y wefan, ond ni fyddwch yn gallu ychwanegu sylwadau.

We have been busy reviewing the data which will inform our Interim Report due to be published before the summer, and our Final Recommendations which we will make to the Welsh Government around the end of the year. In the meantime, the site content will be available to view but not to add further comments.

Beyond this, the Commission is considering solutions to improve the transport network across south east Wales. The focus of future recommendations will be much broader than the initial ‘fast-track’ recommendations relating to the M4, and will include alternative transport modes.
Lord Burns, Chair of the South East Wales Transport Commission, said:
"I wholeheartedly recognise the scale and importance of the task to improve acute transport issues within the region.Our aim as a Commission is to recommend a set of measures which will improve transport in a sustainable way that supports the wider well-being of people who live, work and travel in south east Wales.The recommendations in this initial report are measures that can be swiftly implemented. I believe they will have a modest but noticeable effect on alleviating congestion on the M4.Our longer-term recommendations will encompass a much wider set of measures, relating to bus, rail, active travel, road improvement, governance and wider policies."For more information contact: SEWTransportcommission@gov.wales
