Commentary Part 5: Integrated Transport Authorities etc. Section 91: Dissolution of an integrated transport area
240.This section allows the Secretary of State to make an order to dissolve an integrated transport area and abolish its ITA. However, where the Secretary of State does so the order must also designate one or more authorities – for instance the metropolitan district councils within the boundaries of the integrated transport area – to take over as the local transport authorities for the former area. The order may also transfer the former ITA’s other functions to these authorities.
