Creating a 21st Century transport system

This website sets out how the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority (GMPTA) will spend up to £3 billion on improvements to public transport, cycling and walking, and the use of our road network, along with detailed information on the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) congestion charging proposals for drivers.

The Department for Transport has approved proposals made under the Transport Innovation Fund for a major investment in public transport, funded by a combination of Government Grant and income from a weekday peak-time only congestion charge.

A charge would only be introduced when at least 80% of the transport improvements are in operation – 2013 at the earliest.

The public consultation is now over.  

The public consultation on the TIF package commenced on 7th July and ran for 14 weeks, ending on 10th October.  A report on the results of the consultation will be made at the AGMA Executive on 31 October, including analysis of the consultation responses and other feedback received.

There will be a public vote on the TIF package, closing on 11 December.
