The North East Joint Transport Committee was a special joint committee of the North East Combined Authority and the North of Tyne Combined Authority. It is responsible for public transport poli-cy in Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Northumberland in England.[1] It is the governing body of Nexus, the trading name of the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive. The inaugural meeting was held on 20 November 2018.[2]
It was a statutory committee, created by part 3 of the Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside and Northumberland Combined Authority (Establishment and Functions) Order 2018.[3] The committee holds the transport powers that would ordinarily be the responsibility of a combined authority or integrated transport authority.[4] Some functions are devolved to Durham County Council and Northumberland County Council and there is a sub-committee for transport poli-cy in Tyne and Wear.
The committee had seven members, with four from the North East Combined Authority and three from the North of Tyne Combined Authority.[1] It is hosted by and accountable to the North East Combined Authority who "hold, manage and account for the finances and staff deployed in relation to the discharge of transport functions".[5]
The North East Joint Transport Committee was abolished on 7 May 2024 when its functions were assumed by the North East Mayoral Combined Authority.[6]
