Local transport bodies

Local transport bodies are partnerships of local authorities in England outside Greater London. There are 38 local transport bodies. They cover similar areas to local enterprise partnerships, but are not permitted to overlap each other. Decision making for major transport infrastructure spending is devolved to these bodies from the Department for Transport.[1] They will receive funding from April 2015.[2][3]

Membership

edit

Membership of local transport bodies include non-metropolitan local transport authorities (county councils and unitary authorities) or combined authorities and integrated transport authorities which cover metropolitan areas. Local enterprise partnerships are also members of local transport bodies.[4]
