Issue details

West Sussex Bus Service Improvement Plan

In Bus Back Better – National Bus Strategy for England the Government required Local Transport Authorities to commit to establishing Enhanced Partnerships across their entire areas under the Bus Services Act 2017 to deliver ‘Bus Service Improvement Plans’ (BSIP) from April 2022.

 

In June 2021, the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport committed to establishing an Enhanced Partnership across West Sussex and invited all local bus operators to confirm their intention to participate.

 

The County Council has consulted local bus operators and, by the end of October 2021, the Government expects all Local Transport Authorities to publish a local BSIP, detailing proposals to improve bus services. The BSIP will be reflected in the West Sussex Transport Plan.
