Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which local transport authorities were allocated funding for demand responsive transport schemes as part of the Bus Service Improvement Plan process; and how much funding each such authority was allocated.

Fifteen Local Transport Authorities (LTAs) were allocated funding for demand responsive transport (DRT) schemes as part of the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) process, totalling over £37m. This figure only includes schemes from LTAs who have had their funding confirmed. In cases where the LTA has not provided granular detail, some elements of this funding will include funding for other services alongside DRT.
