How Wales’s £115.9m regional transport funding is split for 2026–27

Welsh Government has approved the 2026–27 transport work programme for each region, setting out £115.9m of Regional Transport Fund and non-rail Burns funding. The programmes sit under the Regional Transport Plans approved in October 2025 and are intended to deliver Llwybr Newydd, the Wales Transport Strategy.

Where the money is going

The largest share, £58.5m, is for walking, wheeling and cycling—more than half of the overall programme. Public transport is allocated £20.9m, while highways schemes receive £24.1m. The statement also identifies £7m for road safety and £3.9m for electric-vehicle charging infrastructure; programme management accounts for 1.3% of the total.

Regional allocations

• North Wales: £28.8m, including the Penrhyn Bay scheme in Conwy.
• Mid Wales: £13.1m, including £2.4m to complete the Brecon High Street pedestrianisation scheme.
• South-west Wales: £24.7m, with the Haverfordwest multi-modal interchange named as a key deliverable.
• South-east Wales: £49.3m, including the Caerphilly interchange improvement and continued non-rail Burns funding around the M4 corridor.

The government says merging several grant streams into one Regional Transport Fund is intended to simplify administration for local authorities and support regional decision-making. It also points readers to a separate full list of funded schemes, so the headline allocations should not be read as a construction timetable for every project.
