02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
The key elements and strategic objectives of the Project are:
•
Our plans for rural bus franchising pilots are framed in the context of other work that the
Combined Authority is already progressing in partnership with our local authority partners.
A Bus Reform Scoping study, which is taking a high-level view of all bus reform options
open to the Combined Authority in order to improve bus services in our area. This scoping
work will provide important context for the rural franchising pilots, which will examine
franchising options in more detail and with a more defined spatial context.
•
A Bus Network Review, which is comparing our current network against a sliding scale of
customer expectations in order to identify gaps in provision, many of which will exist in our
rural areas.
•
A review of our existing Enhanced Partnerships, and the preparation of a new Bus
Service Improvement Plan, exploring and maximising what the current bus partnership
model can deliver, working hand in hand with bus operators to secure immediate
improvements to the bus offer.
•
The scope for each of the five pilot studies is therefore to build on these ongoing
workstreams and explore the role that bus franchising models can play in delivering better
bus services. We strongly believe that the way to do this is:
•
Examining different bus franchising models in the context of particular rural geographies
in our Combined Authority area, including the additional opportunities afforded by the new
Bus Services Act.
•
Conducting these examinations working hand in hand with local stakeholders that are, or
represent, people actually using the bus, or would use the bus if the service better met
their needs and using the knowledge and expertise of the local bus operators.
