The statistics for transport capital investment per head for 2016-17 were published on 9 November 2017 (see table below). As this draws on historic accounting data, it may not be possible to use this methodology to provide equivalent data for future spending.<\/p>

In addition to this it is not possible to allocate spending precisely on a project that crosses and benefits many regions, for example HS2.<\/p> <\/p> This Department focuses on delivering outcomes for transport users, not on spending per head. An analysis of regional spend per head of resident population would not, for example, take into account the pressure that large numbers of commuters and visitors from outside of a region can add to a region\u2019s transport networks. In addition, larger and more densely built-up areas tend to make greater use of mass public transport systems. For example, in 2015/16 there were 537 million rail journeys within the London area compared to 142 million in the North. Investment by the Department is made based on a fair and rigorous process that ensures that spending goes where it is most needed.<\/p> The Infrastructure and Projects Authority\u2019s National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline (NICP) publishes a forward look of transport capital investment for 2016-17 to 2020-21. However, due to methodological challenges, the majority of public sector transport capital investment is not allocated to specific English regions. It therefore does not provide a complete picture on spend per capita by region.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
