Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to promote sustainable transport in Portsmouth.

The Department has provided financial support to Portsmouth City Council to deliver a number of sustainable transport schemes including £58 million from the Transforming Cities Fund, £48 million under the Bus Service Improvement Plan and £1.32 million since 2020 under the Government’s Active Travel Fund. This is alongside the £2 bus fare cap which benefits all bus passengers throughout the country, and the Government’s ambitious plan to transition to electric vehicles.
