The investment plan funded by the government includes £51m for clean-air compliant emissions buses to run on the Bee Network, Greater Manchester’s public transport system.
About £5m is earmarked for traffic management measure to improve flow on roads in Manchester and Salford, including Regent Road and Quay Street.
Meanwhile £8m has been pledged to help hackney carriage drivers and taxis move to cleaner vehicles.
But some, including the Manchester branch of the Hackney Drivers Association, have argued this is too little to pay for the upgrades needed to about 700 of the 1,100 vehicles.
Mr Burnham told Radio Manchester he would meet with the trade to work out ways his authority could help.
The announcement means contracts of clean air zone signs and cameras, put up in anticipation of one being introduced, can be taken down.
Minister for the Future of Roads, Lilian Greenwood MP said the Bee Network had been “groundbreaking”.
“It’s great to see that Manchester will be able to reduce pollution from transport without having to charge motorists.”
