The Urban Transport Group (UTG) is a British transport organisation created in 2016, replacing the former Passenger Transport Executive Group (PTEG).
It has seven full members, the six Passenger transport executives and Transport for London and three associate members: Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, Bristol and the West of England Authorities, and Nottingham City Council. Transport for Greater Manchester's Chief Executive Dr Jon Lamonte is chair of the organisation.
Its main roles are:
- making the case for urban transport;
- acting as a professional network for public sector urban transport professionals;
- providing leadership by addressing longer-term challenges.
It has widened its focus, compared to the role of the Passenger Transport Executive Group to include strategic highways, active travel, and freight and logistics.{{cite news|title=pteg becomes the Urban Transport Group|url=http://www.railmagazine.com/news/network/2016/01/14/pteg-becomes-the-urban-transport-group|accessdate=23 January 2016|publisher=Rail Magazine|date=14 January 2016}}
Urban transport is now said to be a key element of the devolution agenda, according to Mike Brown, London’s transport commissioner.{{cite news|title=pteg becomes Urban Transport Group as TfL joins in|url=http://www.railtechnologymagazine.com/rail-news/pteg-becomes-urban-transport-group-as-tfl-joins-in|accessdate=23 January 2016|publisher=Rail Technology Magazine|date=8 January 2016}}
