The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority is the combined authority for South Yorkshire in England, with powers over transport (public transport and major trunk roads only), economic development and regeneration. It covers a total area of 3,484 km2 (1,345 sq mi) with a population of 1.8 million. The four metropolitan boroughs of South Yorkshire – Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley – are full members of the authority, while the Derbyshire Dales, North East Derbyshire, Chesterfield and Bolsover districts of Derbyshire, and the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, are non-constituent members.
The authority's first mayoral election took place on Thursday 3 May 2018, coinciding with the 2018 United Kingdom local elections.
Until 16 September 2021, the statutory name of the combined authority was the Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield Combined Authority[1] (though it was never branded as such). Between April 2014 and May 2018, the combined authority was branded as the Sheffield City Region Combined Authority, and between May 2018 and September 2021 as the Sheffield City Region Mayoral Combined Authority. On 17 September 2021, both its legal name and its brand name changed to the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority.
