Transport: Rural Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking with local authorities to develop integrated transport systems in rural areas.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
We are committed to empowering local leaders to design and operate transport systems that better serve local needs. The Integrated National Transport Strategy will establish a people-first approach to transport across all areas and set the vision for better integration. The Department is already supporting rural connectivity through the Rural Transport Accelerator, and the Buses Bill which will place power over local bus services back in the hands of local leaders across England.
