<p>Transport for London (TfL) receives its funding from a wide range of sources, with
the largest single contribution (around £4.6 billion in 2015/16) coming from fare-payers.
This Department pays a transport grant to TfL, via the Greater London Authority, which
was £1.516 billion in 2015/2016 and which will be £1.418 billion in 2016/17. We do
not routinely publish a per capita breakdown of this grant, because spending on London’s
transport infrastructure benefits not only London residents but also commuters and
others travelling into the capital. There are also differences in the funding and
regulatory framework between London and the rest of the country, making like-for-like
comparisons difficult.</p><p> </p>
