Regional Transport Board

What will the Board do?
The terms of reference for the Regional Transport Board include:
- Ensuring transport investment in the region aligns with regional and sub-regional challenges
- Feeding into the development of the Integrated Regional Strategy and the Regional Funding Advice process
- Establishing a single voice for transport in the region, particularly when engaging with central Government, by working with others in the region to agree and deliver a single message
Who's involved?
The Chair of the Regional Transport Board will be nominated by Yorkshire Forward, the Deputy Chair by Local Government Yorkshire and Humber. Other members will include representatives from local authorities, the environment and business sectors, and from transport consumer groups.

NEW EVENT: Sustainable Economic Growth, Regeneration and Local Economic Assessments (LEAs)
Local government in Yorkshire and Humber needs to explore how we can work innovatively and build capacity to conduct robust and meaningful LEAs, which are also rooted in “real-life” economic geographies.
This workshop is intended to be the first of a series that will take place in the course of conducting LEAs during 2010, to share expertise and approaches and build capacity.
