TfGM Modern Slavery Statement 2024 Affects Oldham Transport
Transport for Greater Manchester released its seventh modern slavery statement covering the 2023-2024 financial year. The document confirms £444 million was spent on goods, works and services involving over 500 suppliers. Jacqueline Elliott, Head of Legal Services, approved the statement on 9 September 2024. TfGM owns Metrolink and coordinates transport across ten district areas including Oldham. Orders for 270 electric buses were placed to support the Bee Network rollout. A 12% increase in bus passengers was recorded during the reporting period. New low fares contributed to the rise in people using GM buses recently. The authority aims to make the region a cleaner and greener place to live through these strategies.
