Sustainable transport funding

Portsmouth City Council has been successful in obtaining funding towards a number of transport schemes and initiatives.

We submitted an expression of interest for the Zero Emission Bus Regional Area Scheme fund in 2021.
We submitted a bid to the Transforming Cities Fund in July 2020. You can read more about our bid on our Transforming Cities Fund page. You can also find out more about the schemes that deliver against this funding at South East Hampshire Rapid Transit.
We were successful in obtaining a grant of £61,000 towards the A27 Safer Roads Fund (2018).
