“Through the Government’s National Bus Strategy, we have an opportunity to fulfil our role as the Local Transport Authority in shaping and supporting public transport provision in Staffordshire.
By working with operators to bid for money to update old vehicles, improve passenger facilities and encourage bus companies to innovate for the future, we can encourage the development of a sustainable bus network for the benefit of Staffordshire residents.
An ambitious Enhanced Partnership and Bus Service Improvement Plan should help provide equality of access to employment and key services whilst contributing towards achieving carbon net zero.”
David Williams, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport |
