The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she expects the final evaluation report for the Rural Mobility Fund to be published.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Rural Mobility Fund evaluation consists of two elements – a first stage including monitoring data collection and a process evaluation and a second stage including impact and value for money evaluation.

An interim monitoring data collection and process evaluation report was published in September 2023 and a second concluding process evaluation report will be published later this year.

The impact and value for money evaluation will be published in 2026.
