In December 2023 SYMCA Programme Board
received a report on funding opportunities which had come from the
Governments Plan for Drivers and Network North announcements, this
included ITMF.
ITMF is intended to support the introduction of next generation
traffic management technologies for corridor and area-wide
optimisation to a small number of English authorities. It is more
research and development focused than the other Plan for Drivers
funds and is aimed at showcasing and promoting a wide range of new
and emerging solutions to area-wide traffic management.
In April 2024 programme guidance was launched by DfT, with a
submission deadline of July 31st. This date is being revised due to
the General Election.
The bid is in the final stages of development with the consortia
partners, which will quantify the value of our submission which is
expected to be close to the £2m ceiling.
Approval is sought to submit the bid once the new date has been
confirmed. An update will then be provided in the MCA paper noting
submission of bid and acceptance of any future grant.
