During 2021/22 the Department for Transport (DfT) made additional funding available to Sub-national Transport Bodies (STBs). The funding was to enable STBs to support their local authorities (LAs) in delivering transport policies in four priority areas identified by DfT:
• Decarbonisation
• Bus service improvements
• Electric vehicle infrastructure
• LA capacity and capability
DfT invited STBs to submit proposals for funding, giving them an eight-week turnaround period. The process was not intended to be competitive and collaboration and co-ordination between STBs was encouraged.
UWE Bristol was commissioned to carry out a process evaluation of this initiative. The report presents findings form the cross-cutting process analysis as well as more detailed analysis of particular funded projects, leading to learning and recommendations for the future.
