Welcome to the Highways Service Information Centre
Changes mean services are cheaper for commuters looking to travel into Colchester and Chelmsford city centres.
Prices for Essex Park and Ride services are changing to help encourage more people to use the services and reduce the number of cars in the centres of Colchester and Chelmsford.
The changes will mean commuters pay less on the daily price for peak time travel, as well as for weekday afternoon tickets. Meanwhile, weekend tickets will be brought in line with weekday ticket prices.
All of the price changes follow a public consultation which asked residents their views on the proposals last year. The changes will come into force from Friday 1 September.
