£18 million for transport in Greater Manchester
The transport secretary has confirmed £18 million to protect transport services in Greater Manchester.
The money is intended to ensure the stability and reliability of the transport network and enable it to operate and recover from the impact of the pandemic while considering value for money for all taxpayers.
The funding is being provided on the condition that TfGM outlines a pathway to financial sustainability as committed to in the Trailblazer Devolution Deal.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper said: "Since the start of the pandemic, the government has repeatedly stepped up to support Greater Manchester and the Bee Network, providing over £400 million to protect and improve services.
"We’re determined to see a thriving local transport network in this great city and, while our support package must be fair to taxpayers, I am confident this additional extraordinary settlement will help operators to recover from the pandemic while Transport for Greater Manchester follows through on its promise to reach financial sustainability."
