Transport: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she will conduct an assessment of the potential impact on regional connectivity from differing levels of transport investment between mayoral and non-mayoral combined authorities.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
We are committed to evaluating the range of funding programmes and policies across local transport, and we are engaging with MHCLG on the approach to evaluation for places with integrated settlements. Additionally, we are using the Department's Connectivity Tool, which measures an area’s connectivity to support the analysis. More details on the Connectivity Tool can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/connectivity-tool.
