  • £12 million of bus funding for financial year 2025/26, an increase of £8.1 million compared to what they received in 2024/25.

  • £1.7 million to deliver an additional 12 Zero Emission Buses.

  • Almost £2.8m capital and resource funding as part of the £381m Local EV Infrastructure Fund, to transform the availability of EV charging for drivers without off-street parking in the area.

  • Over £4.8 million in Integrated Transport Block funding to support local transport maintenance and enhancements.

How these funds are allocated within Surrey is a matter for Surrey County Council.
