Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to provide capital or transition funding to Local Transport Authorities to support fleet conversion.

The government is reducing the number of different funding streams paid to Local Trasport Authorities. Major city regions will benefit from the £15.6bn Transport for Cities fund while our smaller cities, towns and rural areas will receive £2.3bn from the Local Transport Grant and over £800m capital funding. Local leaders can use this funding to invest in local prioritises, such as investment in bus priority or investment in new zero emission buses.
