Reconstitution in 1986
The passenger transport authority was reconstituted by the Local Government Act 1985 in 1986 to replace the Greater Manchester County Council which was abolished. Its membership was made up of appointed councillors from the councils in Greater Manchester, based on population: Bolton 3, Bury 2, Manchester 5, Oldham 3, Rochdale 2, Salford 3, Stockport 3, Tameside 3, Trafford 3, and Wigan 3.[1]
Reform and replacement
The Local Transport Act 2008 reconstituted it as the Greater Manchester Integrated Transport Authority.
The integrated transport authority was replaced by Transport for Greater Manchester in 2011, which is accountable to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.[2]
