Funding for transport capital projects for the period 2012-2016 will be determined in the context of the capital review currently underway. Once the level of funding available is known the transport investment programme will be finalised. A key priority will be to provide funds to protect existing investment and maintain safety standards. Following this priority will be given to projects and programmes which are affordable and provide value for money, contribute to economic recovery and transport objectives, including adding value to existing infrastructure and services.
