• External Funding and Resources
  

Transport issues in South Hampshire are led by Transport for South Hampshire (TfSH), which is a separate Joint Committee of the three transport authorities (Southampton CC, Portsmouth CC and Hampshire CC). TfSH works with key stakeholders (including the train and bus operating companies, Network Rail, ports and airport and Highways Agency) through the Solent Transport Partnership. There is therefore a strong interconnected relationship between PUSH and TfSH.
