Additional services will be provided at Ipswich Hospital later this year through Ipswich's Park & Ride service.
First Bus, who provides Ipswich's Park & Ride service, will introduce the additional stops which is set to include stopping directly outside Ipswich Hospital's A&E department.
Recently, additional bus stops have been created outside the centre.
Chris Chambers, Suffolk County Council's cabinet member for transport strategy, planning and waste, said: "Following discussions between First Bus and the team at Ipswich Hospital, agreement has been reached to put additional services into the site later this year.
"This will include the Ipswich Park & Ride service, which runs between the car parks at Copdock and Martlesham via the town centre.
"The changes are part of a wider package of improvements being planned which will be publicised on suffolkonboard.com and via other channels when they are finalised."
Currently, the Ipswich Park & Ride service does stop at Ipswich Hospital, but this stops by the staff entrance next to the Two Rivers Medical Centre at the interchange connecting Woodbridge Road, Colchester Road and Spring Road.
This means that those going to Ipswich Hospital's A&E department have to walk around and down Heath Road to get to the entrance.
In September last year, the new emergency care unit opened as part of a £52 million redevelopment at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT) which runs Ipswich Hospital.
The facility, which is situated next to the Garrett Anderson building, caters for around 50,000 patients every year and it was created with the aim of freeing up the emergency department to focus on more serious incidents.
