The CRSTS impact and value for money evaluation baseline report provides a summary of the major lessons from the baselining phase. This includes details of metrics for outcomes of interest for CRSTS schemes.
Case study 3 explores the successes and challenges in suppling CRSTS to date. It focuses on:
- the strategies employed by mayoral strategic authorities
- how the arrangements between Department for Transport and authorities have balanced the priorities of devolution and accountability
Case study 2 explores the design and delivery of the Transforming Cities Fund (TCF) evaluation. It identifies lessons for the evaluation of CRSTS and other local transport funds.
Case study 1 examines the funding allocation process for CRSTS and the first round of this funding between 2021 and 2022.
The Department for Transport commissioned Steer to produce a series of process evaluation case studies.
The CRSTS programme is a consolidated fund from the Department for Transport for 8 of the largest city regions across England, outside of Greater London. The programme aims to simplify the funding landscape and make transformational change through public and sustainable transport infrastructure investments.
