Public transport support and concessionary travel reimbursement data
Financial data for local authorities are produced by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). However, only provisional data on revenue outturn has been published as of 27 November 2024. Due to this, it is not currently possible to produce estimates for public transport support and concessionary travel reimbursement for the year ending March 2024. We plan to publish updated tables at a later date once final revenue outturn data has been published by MHCLG.
