Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of funding for zero and low emission buses.
Since February 2020, an estimated 4,200 Zero Emission Buses (ZEBs) have been funded across the UK, including 1,300 ZEBs supported by £280m through the ZEBRA 1 programme. We announced a further £129m in September 2023 under the ZEBRA 2 programme.
My department has an ongoing monitoring and evaluation project for ZEBRA. An interim evaluation report was published in June 2023.
