West Yorkshire Combined Authority is a regional political body that coordinates governance across West Yorkshire, guided by a Mayor and supported by thematic committees focused on delivering its corporate objectives. Its membership comprises the Mayor and democratically elected councillors from Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield, with a non-voting representative from the City of York Council. The Mayor's Business Board connects local business and community leaders from diverse sectors to help shape the region's economic development. Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, the authority operates within the regional public-sector governance landscape. In 2026 the authority ordered 193 battery-electric vehicles for its franchised Weaver Network, with rollout planned for mid-2027. This procurement underscores the authority's involvement in developing transport infrastructure and asset planning for the region.
