Since 1 January 2022 the Northern Transport Acceleration Council held one full plenary meeting on 23 May 2022, to discuss the UK Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy.

Core membership of NTAC consists of the transport ministers, northern metro mayors, the leaders of northern transport authorities, as well as the Chief Executives of Network Rail, Highways England and HS2 Ltd. and the chair of the NP11.

Ministers are currently reviewing the format and structure of regular engagement in the north, including the role to be played by the Northern Transport Acceleration Council given its overlap with Transport for the North.
