Transport priorities for our region are identified by the Regional Transport Board (RTB). RTB priorities agreed by Government are contained in the Regional Transport Programme. This identifies 79 major transport projects scheduled to start during 2006-16. The RTB monitors and manages spending on the programme and reviews scheme delivery.
