Passenger Transport (Bus) Strategy and Supported Services Review
The Cabinet Member established an Executive Task and Finish Group (TFG) in November 2017 to consider:
· the county-wide passenger transport strategy relating to buses
· the criteria by which the County Council intervenes in the bus market
· the application of the revised policy to the County Council’s current level of investment into the bus market; and
· a review of how funding is spent across the county to allow residents to have equitable access
The TFG met in November 2018 and the Environment, Communities and Fire Select Committee met on 6 December 2018 and made recommendations to the Cabinet Member for consideration.
