Michael Solomon Williams

Michael Solomon Williams is Head of Campaigns and External Affairs at Campaign for Better Transport, where he leads the organisation's strategic campaigning, policy influencing and external engagement programme. He works across rail, buses, trams, local transport, devolution and transport integration, helping to shape policy development and public debate on the future of transport across England and Wales.

Since joining Campaign for Better Transport in 2022, Michael has led national campaigns and policy initiatives on rail reform, bus services and infrastructure, integrated transport, devolution and communities. He works closely with parliamentarians, government departments, local and combined authorities, transport operators, industry bodies and civil society organisations to develop practical solutions that improve access to opportunity, support local economies and strengthen communities.

Alongside his national policy work, Michael has extensive experience of community-led transport initiatives. He previously founded a multi-award-winning community rail partnership and has led major international projects bringing together musicians, asylum seekers, schools and community organisations to strengthen social cohesion. His work is underpinned by a belief that better transport is fundamental to economic opportunity, social inclusion and thriving communities.
