Electric Bicycles
Asked by: Rachel Blake (Labour (Co-op) - Cities of London and Westminster) Friday 29th November 2024 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had discussions with (a) local authorities and (b) organisations that represent local authorities on the use of dockless e-bikes. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The department works closely with local authorities and their representative organisations to deliver our shared transport objectives.
My officials regularly meet with local authority officials to discuss specific transport challenges and better understand how to identify and tackle problems that arise as well as how to make the most of opportunities. Dockless e-bikes are a good example of this.
I also correspond frequently with local leaders on the use of dockless e-bikes in their area and would like to take this opportunity to further encourage such dialogue. The experience and expertise shared by local authorities in correspondence with me and with officials is invaluable as I carefully consider the next steps on policy in this area. |
