- Prepare and manage high quality, compelling bids that respond to future transport investment opportunities across the East Midlands region.
- Provide key information and advice on the capital spending programme and assurance framework to the Transport Advisory Committee, Investment Committee and EMCCA Board in order for decisions to be made.
