Decision details
Bus Service Improvement Programme 3 - Award of Contracts
Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Environment
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To seek approval for award of contracts to
deliver the Bus Improvement Programme 3 (BSIP3) as agreed by
Executive on 19 March 2024.
Decision:
To accept the delegation of Local Transport
Functions from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority and
enter into the associated Agreement and
approve the award of contracts and grants to deliver the BSIP3
improvement programme as agreed by Executive on 19 March
2024.
Reasons for the decision:
The Department for Transport (DfT) has made
£3.5m available to improve local bus services in North
Yorkshire during 2024/25. Awarding the contracts will allow this
new funding to be released to bus operators and therefore used to
improve local bus services which will benefit residents across the
county.
Alternative options considered:
None. This is additional funding to support
bus services in North Yorkshire. If we do not award contracts for
the approved schemes the opportunity to improve public transport
for residents will be missed and it may prejudice future Government
grant funding.
