The majority of public funding for local bus services is via block grant provided to local authorities in England from the Department for Communities and Local Government. This Department is also devolving around £1.9m annual Bus Service Operators Grant funding to Lancashire County Council relating to the tendered bus services they support, to allow decisions to be taken locally on how that funding should be spent.
