A funding injection of 115.9 million GBP has been announced to deliver modern, sustainable integrated transport systems across Wales.
The funding has been awarded to a wealth of local authorities via the Welsh Government’s Regional Transport Fund (2026-7), and will be used in an effort to make local transport more accessible.
Of the 115.9 million GBP; 58.5 million GBP will be used to create more inclusive streets to make it easier for people to walk, wheel or cycle; 24.1 million GBP will be used to improve the condition of local roads through investment in highway schemes; 20.9 million GBP will be used to create better access to public transport; 7 million GBP will be used to improve overall road safety; and 3.9 million GBP will be used to make infrastructure enhancements to electric vehicle charging points.
Projects that are expected to benefit from the investment include walking, wheeling and cycling schemes, such as the £1.1m Penrhyn Bay scheme in Conwy; Brecon High Street pedestrianisation scheme; opening of the Haverfordwest multi‑modal interchange in Southwest Wales; improvements to the Caerphilly interchange; and the progression of priorities identified through the Southeast Wales Transport Commission to support a more resilient and sustainable transport system around the M4 corridor.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, Ken Skates, said:Delivering better transport and connecting communities for all is at the heart of this 115 million GBP investment. We want to make it easier for people to travel to work, school, healthcare and to see friends and family, while also building a more modern, sustainable and integrated transport system across Wales for future generations.
Our commitment to a one team approach draws on the regional knowledge and trust we have placed in our partners; the CJCs, Local Authorities, Transport for Wales, and wider stakeholders, to ensure this money delivers the greatest benefits.
These improvements will make real differences to everyday journeys - whether that's safer routes, better paths for walking, wheeling and cycling, or more reliable multimodal connections.
