Bus Services: South Yorkshire

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to provide feedback to South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority on their unsuccessful bus service improvement plan submission.

Answer: The Department provided initial written feedback to South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority on their BSIP on 31 May 2022. We then wrote to the Transport Directors of unfunded areas on 8 August 2022 offering a one-off surgery on Enhanced Partnerships and Bus Service Improvement Plans with any LTA which requests one, on a first-come first-served basis. These surgeries will offer feedback on BSIPs along with a strategic overview of the BSIP and EP process.
