Allocations for the Transport for City Regions settlements 2027-28 to 2031-32
Spending Review 2025 has confirmed £15.6 billion funding to provide Transport for City Regions (TCR) settlements for 9 eligible mayoral strategic authorities.
This funding is in addition to the £5.7 billion already allocated to eligible mayoral strategic authorities for years 2022-23 to 2026-27 via the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements.
Funding allocations for the final year of the CRSTS programme will be confirmed in due course, including capital and revenue.
Over £500 million of TCR funding has been brought forward into 2025-26 and 2026-27 to enable preparation and earlier delivery of programmes.
The TCR programme provides multi-year, consolidated funding settlements to enhance the local transport networks of some of England’s largest city regions, including investment in public and sustainable transport infrastructure. The objectives of the fund are:
- continuing to drive growth and productivity through investment in integrated transport networks
- transforming infrastructure to support the delivery of new homes and improve access to opportunity for all
- decarbonising transport and enabling healthy living, including promoting modal shift from cars to public transport, walking and cycling
