Details

The City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) programme is a £5.7 billion investment in local transport networks. It provides consolidated, long-term capital funding to 8 city regions across England through 5-year settlements from tax year 2022/23 to 2026/27.

Funding settlements

Settlements have been confirmed for the following Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) under CRSTS:

MCA Funding amount
Greater Manchester £1,070 million
Liverpool City Region £710 million
South Yorkshire £570 million
Tees Valley £310 million
West of England £540 million
West Midlands £1,050 million
West Yorkshire £830 million

The North East will be eligible to work with government to agree a CRSTS settlement once appropriate governance arrangements are in place.

Letters confirming delivery plans

Letters from the Secretary of State for Transport to metro mayors confirming the delivery plans funded through their CRSTS allocations.

Delivery plans

The delivery plans contain the list of schemes and milestones for each city region. Delivery plans have been agreed with government in line with the fund objectives, and based on the plans put forward by city regions. Progress against planned milestones will be updated over the period (current information was accurate at the time of publishing).

Delivery plans have been agreed with approximately 10% of overprogramming, as it is likely that over the 5-year settlement period schemes may change in timing, scope or cost. City regions have flexibility to manage delivery within this overprogramming locally whilst retaining the required degree of government oversight. City regions are responsible for sourcing locally any additional funding required to deliver overprogrammed scope.

Aims of the settlements

The National Infrastructure Strategy committed to investments in local transport networks to improve productivity in our largest cities. The CRSTS programme aims to deliver transformational change through investments in public and sustainable transport infrastructure in some of England’s largest city regions. CRSTS funding is targeted at the following objectives:

  • driving growth and productivity
  • decarbonising transport
  • levelling up services and areas

Guidance was published in 2021 to support eligible city regions in preparing funding proposals for settlements.
