The Combined Authority (CA) has two major delivery committees: the Investment Committee and the Transport Committee. Other committees have been set up to ensure probity through careful scrutiny of decisions and processes, and strict governance and audit.

The CA is responsible for the £1 billion west Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund, and works closely with business in the region through the Leeds City Region LEP to ensure that business and the regional economy is at the heart of the decisions taken.

Future strategic groups will be set up to deliver on individual aims, for example on quality public transport. 
And while the leadership of the CA is from council leaders, local politicians and the public sector, representatives from other partners – including the private sector, other public sector agencies and the voluntary sector – are key to its success.
