The Bus Services Act 2017 gives them additional powers to do so through partnership working with commercial operators. It also gives Mayoral Combined authorities the automatic right to franchise their bus network and the Department for Transport can also grant these powers to other local authorities who make a satisfactory business case. The Department is also developing regulations to require bus operators and local transport authorities to provide data, in open formats, about local bus services including routes and timetable data; fares and ticket data; and real time information. We are working closely with industry to develop the regulations and it is intended the requirements will be phased in over the next few years.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 14/09/2018 11:22:19 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2018 answer text <p>The Government has allocated more than £61bn in transport capital investment over the five years to 2020/21. This is record investment that ensures communities become better connected and journeys become easier and more reliable, in recognition of the vital role that transport plays in people’s lives.</p><p> </p><p>The Department takes forward a number of policies that help promote personal wellbeing, including the recently published Inclusive Transport Strategy which aims to make travel easier for disabled people, and the £1.2bn Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy that aims to make cycling and walking the natural choice for short journeys.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is also supporting the Government’s plan to help tackle loneliness as announced by the Prime Minister in January in response to the Jo Cox Commission. We have contributed £1m to the Building Connections Fund and sit on the cross-government group which will take responsibility for driving action on loneliness across all parts of government and keeping it firmly on the agenda.</p><p> </p><p>The Department uses a wide range of measures that help to inform policy formulation, including evidence drawn from across the ONS. As such, it is not possible to identify all specific instances where the use of ONS estimates of personal wellbeing have been used in the last 12 months.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 14/09/2018 13:48:51 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
