South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority

Restoring the Pride, Purpose and Prosperity of South Yorkshire. Community Guidelines: southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/socials We attract new investment to our region.

We are the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority
(SYMCA). Led by Mayor of South Yorkshire Oliver Coppard, we bring together the local authorities of Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield and the private sector through our Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). The Mayor, MCA and LEP have a shared purpose to create a stronger, greener, fairer South Yorkshire. We work together to unlock the

potential of our people, businesses and places and ensure they prosper. Our Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) provides the blueprint for how we will transform our region. We will keep people and businesses moving and help them grow, delivering a public transport network and attracting investment to create a stronger, greener, fairer South Yorkshire by 2040. Our vision is to grow an economy that works for everyone. We will develop inclusive and sustainable approaches that build on our strengths in innovation and embrace the UK’s 4th Industrial Revolution, to contribute more to the country’s prosperity and enhance quality of life for all. We have powers and resources, devolved from Westminster to South Yorkshire, which mean we can take decisions locally about our economy, transport, skills, housing and infrastructure. We use these to create a vibrant, thriving South Yorkshire where people want to live and work. We build the conditions for inclusive economic growth which benefits everyone. We help create good jobs, by backing businesses to grow, invest and locate in South Yorkshire. We support people so they have the training and skills to find work, remain in work or progress in work. We help businesses secure the skills they need to be more productive and grow. We serve South Yorkshire every day and connect people and businesses to the places they need to be. As the body responsible for South Yorkshire’s public transport network, we manage the 102 million passenger journeys made each year in South Yorkshire. We are building a transport system which is reliable, green and affordable. We invest in infrastructure to transform our places, revitalise high streets and deliver new homes.

How shocked are you that 14.7% of households in Yorkshire and the Humber don’t own a single book? 📚

This International Literacy Day, we’re celebrating the amazing work happening across our region's libraries, family hubs, and community groups to bring the joy of reading to families.

Projects like The Mayor’s Big Little Book Club are just the start of our long-term commitment to building a true culture of reading across South Yorkshire. Because every child deserves the chance to dream bigger, learn more, and make the most of their talents.

The new school year is here, and we're continuing our commitment to making journeys to and from school safer for children and families across South Yorkshire.
Working alongside our local authority partners, we're investing in safer school environments, improving routes around schools, and creating places where children can travel with confidence, build independence, and develop healthy habits that last a lifetime.
It's good for their health, good for our communities, and helping make South Yorkshire the best place in the country for children to walk, wheel and cycle.
