Firstly I want to put on record my thanks to Lord Burns, his group of Commissioners, and the Welsh Government officials who supported the South East Wales Transport Commission for an excellent and thought provoking report.


The Welsh Government will consider the recommendations in detail, and I will make a more detailed statement to the Senedd in December. 


Coming so soon after the publication for consultation of Llwybr Newydd – the new Wales Transport Strategy I am pleased to see the close alignment of the two documents, which taken together will reshape the way that we think about how people move around Wales, and beyond.


I warmly welcome the direction of travel that the report has described, and I look forward to developing our thinking and actions, alongside our partners in Newport and other local authorities, Transport for Wales, and the UK Government.


If implemented successfully they will give people who live in South East Wales and neighbouring areas new transport choices, enabling the region to move away from a reliance on the private car and congested roads, with opportunities to balance car use with high quality public transport and active travel. As well as addressing local congestion, this would make a real impact on air quality and tackling climate change.


The Commission has set out an ambitious set of proposals. If implemented successfully they will give people who live in South East Wales and neighbouring areas new transport choices, enabling the region to move away from a reliance on the private car and congested roads, with opportunities to balance car use with high quality public transport and active travel. As well as addressing local congestion, this would make a real impact on air quality and tackling climate change.


Some of these proposals are within our devolved competence, and some are not.


I have started positive discussions with the Leader of Newport Council about how we can jointly work on the bus and active travel measures.


The rail recommendations require the UK Government to take action and rapidly implement the necessary improvements and enhancements to rail infrastructure across the region.


As I set out earlier this week, for too long Wales has been at the back of the queue when the UK Government has been investing in rail infrastructure.


This is a positive opportunity for the UK Government to invest in levelling up and I look forward to working in partnership with them to deliver the Burns vision.


I welcome the findings of this report and have asked Transport for Wales to work closely with our partners in Newport Council to support me in developing a more detailed response which I will present to the Senedd on 8 December 2020\.


South East Wales Transport Commission: final recommendations

Yn gyntaf, rwyf am nodi fy niolchiadau i’r Arglwydd Burns, ei grŵp o Gomisiynwyr, a swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru a gefnogodd Gomisiwn Trafnidiaeth De\-ddwyrain Cymru am adroddiad rhagorol sy’n procio’r meddwl. 


Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystyried yr argymhellion yn fanwl, a byddaf yn gwneud datganiad manylach i’r Senedd ym mis Rhagfyr.


Gan ddod mor fuan wedi cyhoeddi Llwybr Newydd – Strategaeth newydd Trafnidiaeth Cymru ar gyfer ymgynghoriad, rwy’n falch o weld tebygrwydd agos y ddwy ddogfen, a fydd gyda’i gilydd yn newid ein meddylfryd ynghylch sut y mae pobl yn symud o amgylch Cymru, a thu hwnt.  


Rwy’n croesawu’n fawr gyfeiriad yr adroddiad, ac rwy’n edrych ymlaen at ddatblygu ein syniadau, ochr yn ochr â’n partneriaid yng Nghasnewydd ac awdurdodau lleol eraill, Trafnidiaeth Cymru, a Llywodraeth y DU.


Mae’r Comisiwn wedi amlinellu cyfres uchelgeisiol o gynigion.  Os caiff ei weithredu’n llwyddiannus byddant yn rhoi dewisiadau trafnidiaeth newydd I bobl sy’n byw yn Ne\-ddwyrain Cymru a’r ardaloedd cyfagos, gan alluogi’r rhanbarth I symud I ffwrdd o ddibynnu ar y car preifat a thagfeydd ar y ffyrdd, gyda chyfleoedd I gael cydbwysedd rhwng defnyddio ceir a thrafnidiaeth gyhoeddus o safon uchel a theithio llesol.  Yno gystal â mynd I’r afael â thagfeydd lleol, byddai hyn yn cael effaith gwirioneddol ar ansawdd yr aer a mynd I’r afael â’r newid yn yr hinsawdd. 


Mae rhai o’r cynigion hyn o fewn ein cymhwysedd datganoledig, ond nid yw eraill.  


Rwyf wedi dechrau ar drafodaethau positif gydag Arweinydd Cyngor Casnewydd ynghylch sut y gallwn gydweithio ar y mesurau teithio ar fysiau a theithio llesol.


Mae’r argymhellion i’r rheilffyrdd yn galw ar Lywodraeth y DU i gymryd camau ac i weithredu y gwelliannau angenrheidiol i’r seilwaith rheilffyrdd ar draws y rhanbarth ar fyrder.  


Fel a nodwyd gennyf yn gynharach yr wythnos hon, mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi bod araf iawn wrth fuddsoddi yn seilwaith rheilffyrdd Cymru. 


Mae hwn yn gyfle positif i Lywodraeth y DU fuddsoddi i sicrhau tegwch o ran buddsoddi ac rwy’n edrych ymlaen at weithio mewn partneriaeth â hwy i gyflawni gweledigaeth Burns. 


Rwy’n croesawu canfyddiadau’r adroddiad hwn ac wedi gofyn i Trafnidiaeth Cymru gydweithio’n agos gyda’n partneriaid yng Nghyngor Casnewydd i’m cefnogi i ddatblygu ymateb mwy manwl y byddaf yn ei gyflwyno i’r Senedd ar 8fed Rhagfyr 2020\.
