<p>Since January 2014, BSOG for tendered bus services has been devolved directly to
individual local authorities in England outside London. Some £10 million was devolved
to authorities for the period January to March 2014, and some further £39 million
to cover April 2014 to March 2015. An additional payment will be made in April 2015
to cover the period up to March 2016; this amount is still being finalised. The devolved
funding is ring fenced so that authorities must use it to support bus services in
their area, although they have the flexibility to decide how best to do this in order
to benefit local communities.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
