<p>We have committed to funding 4,000 zero emission buses (ZEBs) this Parliament.
Since February 2020 we have provided funding support for nearly 2,400 zero emission
buses in England. Across the UK an estimated 3,250 ZEBs have been funded so far.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>As part of the Government’s commitment to ZEBs, the Government awarded
£270 million through the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (Scheme) to 17 local transport
authorities which will support up to 1,278 zero emission buses.</p><p> </p><p>Table
1 below presents information on whether zero emission buses have been ordered from
funding from the ZEBRA scheme. The numbers in Table 1 are not official statistics:
they are based on the latest publicly available information and are therefore subject
to change.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Local transport authority</p></td><td><p>Funding</p></td><td><p>No.
