The Taith Joint Board [1] is a legally constituted joint committee of the six north Wales county authorities for the purpose of developing and implementing actions and strategies for transport in north Wales. It was formally established on 31 March 2004. Prior to that date it was an informal consortium of the six north Wales counties (Anglesey, Conwy County Borough, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, and Wrexham County Borough). Taith had originally been the Transport Sub-Committee of the North Wales Economic Forum and adopted the "Taith" name and style in 2002. Although Gwynedd is a member of Taith, the former Meirionnydd district of Gwynedd is included in the mid Wales "TraCC" transport consortium which covers Powys and Ceredigion also. The boundaries of the transport consortiums in Wales (though not the names) were formalised by "The Regional Transport Planning (Wales) Order" of the National Assembly for Wales in 2006.[2] Apart from Taith and TraCC there are two other transport consortiums in Wales - SEWTA and SWWITCH
In early 2014 the Welsh transport minister, Edwina Hart, decided that the Welsh Government would not fund the regional transport consortiums after March 2014. There being no funding forthcoming from the local authorise the consortiums reverted to collaborative consultation groups ("talking shops").
