Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress has been made on allocating remaining Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas funding for this financial year.
In this Parliament we have awarded £320m of dedicated funding for ZEBs in England (outside of London). £270m was allocated to 17 local transport authorities (LTAs) through the Zero Emission Bus Regional Area (ZEBRA) scheme, supporting up to 1,278 zero emission buses.
The Department will provide details on how future funding will be used shortly, taking into account the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement.
