Although the Commission are being supported by Welsh Government and Transport for Wales Secretariat, as well as its supply chain partners where needed, the North Wales Transport Commission is an independent body that has been tasked to review transport as a whole in the region.

The North Wales Transport Commission is a panel of independent commissioners, announced by Welsh Government in March 2022, who will recommend on how to build a sustainable and integrated transport system for North Wales. The full terms of reference of the Commission are provided here: https://www.gov.wales/north-wales-transport-commission/terms-of-reference.

The Commission is being Chaired by Lord Burns GCB, who was responsible for delivering the successful South East Wales Transport Commission. He is being supported by an additional six Commissioners: Dyfed Edwards (Deputy Chair), Professor John Parkin, Ashley Rogers, Doctor Georgina Santos, Sue Flack, and Stephen Joseph OBE, as well as two advisory members of the Commission from Transport for Wales: Glyn Evans and Ruth Wojtan, and one from the Office for Statistics Regulation: Robert Kent-Smith. Further detail of the Commissioners is provided on the dedicated Welsh Government webpage: https://www.gov.wales/north-wales-transport-commission

A dedicated webpage has been established by Welsh Government for the North Wales Transport Commission here: https://www.gov.wales/north-wales-transport-commission. Both the Interim Report (June 2023) and Progress Statement (January 2023) published by the Commission are provided on this webpage.

The Commission are being supported by Welsh Government and Transport for Wales Secretariat, as well as its supply chain partners where needed. The Commission itself consists of an independent panel and is therefore separate to Transport for Wales.

In conjunction with the Commissioners, Welsh Government Secretariat, and supply chain partners, it was agreed that utilisation of Transport for Wales’ public engagement platform would be most effective in reaching a wide audience.
