Question
To ask the Scottish Government what involvement (a) it and (b) Transport Scotland will have in funding the Clyde Metro.
Answer
Clyde Metro will be transformational for the region. It is likely to be a programme which will be delivered over a number of years, with the scale and capital costs required making it one of the largest programme of works Scotland will have ever seen.
The design and development costs to date have been funded by the Scottish Government. It is too early to comment on the longer term funding of Clyde Metro, however, it is envisaged that the funding model for its implementation will be determined as part of the next stage of development.
