The costs of TfWM are funded by a specific transport levy of £114.7 million: this levy is paid by each of the seven Metropolitan Councils of the West Midlands on the basis of their published population figures. The councils must take account of the cost of the levy in setting their council tax levels, after allowing for grants which they receive towards this cost, and this is why we are providing detailed information on the spend in this area. More than half of the levy funds the National Travel Concessionary Scheme for free or half fare bus, train and tram travel for those who qualify, as well as funding subsidised bus services. TfWM, part of the WMCA, is building a TfWM manages 12 bus stations and healthier, happier, better connected and provides around 12,500 passenger stops, more prosperous West Midlands.
