<p>The Department for Transport does not allocate funding to transport on a per head
of population basis.</p><p> </p><p>Investment decisions are made based on a rigorous
and fair appraisal process that ensures spending goes to the projects and programmes
where it is most needed. As the Department emphasised in the Transport Investment
Strategy, investment decisions should reflect a clear understanding of the particular
needs of the country. The Department would value more involvement from regional transport
bodies, such as Transport for the North, in deciding how best to invest in transport
in their region.</p>
