Following the approval of the four Regional Transport Plans in December 2009, and funding allocations in FY2010-11, the Regional Transport Consortia have submitted a further round of proposals to deliver the aspirations identified in their Plans in FY2011-12 including proposals to improve Road Safety.

- Sewta £11.456 million
- SWWITCH £6.128 million
- Taith £6.067 million

The allocation will deliver schemes to support the Regional Transport Plans and improve Road Safety in Wales.
