Public Transport: Disability

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress has been made in implementing the audio-visual requirements for public transport, as set out in the Bus Services Act 2017, across Lancashire.

Answer

In Summer 2018 the Government consulted publicly on plans to use powers in the Bus Services Act 2017 to make Regulations requiring the provision of audible and visible information onboard local bus services across Great Britain.

We continue to analyse responses to the consultation and expect to announce our next steps regarding the making of Regulations and publication of guidance later in the year.
