National Bus Strategy
In March 2021, the government published the National Bus Strategy. The strategy sets out how to improve bus services after the pandemic.
It asks all transport authorities and bus operators to make a Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP). This plan will show how we will improve bus services in Kent in the future.
To make our plan and an 'Enhanced Partnership', we asked for feedback from:
- bus operators
- the public
- other stakeholders.
The Enhanced Partnership has 3 schemes. One for east Kent, west Kent, and Kent Thameside.
We sent our BSIP to government by October 2021. In the following April, we found out we have received £35 million to carry out our plans.
