The North East Joint Transport Committee is a special joint committee of the North East Combined Authority and the North of Tyne Combined Authority. It is responsible for public transport policy in Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Northumberland.[1] It is the governance of NEXUS, the trading name of the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive. The inaugural meeting was held on 20 November 2018.[2]

It is a statutory committee, created by part 3 of the Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside and Northumberland Combined Authority (Establishment and Functions) Order 2018.[3] The committee holds the transport powers that would ordinarily be the responsibility of a combined authority or integrated transport authority.[4]

The committee is comprised of seven members, with four from the North East Combined Authority and three from the North of Tyne Combined Authority.[5]
