The Department for Transport has carried forward the policies that were initiated by predecessor departments.Pendle benefits from policies managed by Lancashire county council. Lancashire received a total of £12.051 million in December 2002 for integrated transport measures as part of the 2003–04-transport settlement. This funding is being used by Lancashire to progress their Local Transport Plan, including a range of measures to tackle congestion, improve safety and enhance public transport provision throughout the county.
