Our Board is made up of a mix of representatives from the public and private sectors, Rail North authorities from outside of the Transport for the North area and our delivery partners, with Mayor David Skaith and Councillor Louise Gittins serving as co-chairs on an interim basis.
Each of the 11 Constituent Authorities appoints one of its elected Members to be a Member of the Transport for the North Board.
The Member appointed must be in the case of a Constituent Authority that has an elected Mayor, the Mayor or the elected Member with responsibility for transport and in any other case the Leader, the co-Chairs or the elected Member with responsibility for transport.
Mayor David Skaith and Councillor Louise Gittins are serving as co-chairs on an interim basis until TfN’s Annual General Meeting, expected to be in June.
All meetings of the Transport for the North Board, its Committees and Sub Committees shall be open to the public (including the press) except to the extent that they are excluded whether during the whole or part of the proceedings.
Dates of all upcoming Transport for the North Board, Committees, and Sub-Committee meetings are listed on our Calendar page.
