Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has published details of how it proposes to invest £172.5m in 18 sustainable public transport schemes across the UK city.
The identified projects include new stations, new Mersey ferries and major improvements to public transport.
Steve Rotheram, metro mayor of the Liverpool City Region, said: “This ambitious £172.5 million programme will help to drive economic growth that benefits everyone in our city region by dramatically improving sustainable transport across our city region.
“By making it easier for people to get around, and access jobs and opportunities, using public transport or by walking and cycling, we will boost prosperity, help our environment, and improve health and wellbeing.”
Projects to be supported through the Transporting Cities Fund must fall into three main themes: improving and expanding the public transport network to meet new areas of demand; improving the appeal of public transport; and improving health and wellbeing.
