National Bus Strategy: Bus Back Better
Wed, Apr 14, 2021 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM BST
https://www.transportxtra.com/tx-events/?id=2532Bus Back Better - the National Bus Strategy is the most ambitious reform the bus sector has seen in a generation. Backed by £3billion of investment, the strategy aims to make buses more frequent, faster, simpler, greener and easier to use. But the funding is also explicitly linked to local transport authorities and bus operators in England being in a statutory enhanced partnership or exploring franchising arrangements.
As part of the Public Transport Recovery series, Landor LINKS is bringing together key speakers from across the bus industry to discuss how the strategy will be implemented and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead.
The webinar will be chaired by Jennie Martin of ITS-UK▸ and features speakers from Department for Transport (invited), Atkins, City Science and Transdev-Blazefield plus an opportunity to take part in an interactive Q&A to conclude the webinar.
A full programme will be announced shortly.
