The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement allocation for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority was derived.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) does not receive the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS), which is made available to eight of England’s largest city regions. Other areas, including the CPCA, receive different funding streams, which from 2026/27 will be consolidated to provide greater flexibility. This funding includes Highways Maintenance, Local Transport Grant and bus funding. Details of this funding was provided to places in December 2025.
