The Government supports the use of renewable fuels in several ways. Regulations generate demand for them in the UK and provide a signal for future investments. The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) scheme continues to support renewable fuels, which are primarily deployed in road transport, and delivers a third of transport\u2019s carbon savings under carbon budget 4. The Government will introduce a similar mandate scheme to drive the deployment of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in 2025. We also have a track record of supporting UK production of advanced renewable fuels through grant funding programmes. Most recently the Advanced Fuels Fund (AFF) has allocated over £135 million of capital funding to 13 projects to support the development of a UK SAF industry.<\/p>

In October, the Prime Minister announced an additional £8.3 billion of roads resurfacing funding over the period 2023/24 to 2033/34, with £150 million being made available in both this financial year and the next. This funding, made possible by reallocating funds from the HS2 programme, is enough to enable local highways authorities across England to resurface at least 5,000 miles of road.<\/p>
<\/p>
As roads policy in the UK is devolved, provision of additional highways maintenance funding in Northern Ireland is a decision for the Northern Ireland Executive.<\/p>

Bus service policy in Northern Ireland is a devolved matter for the Northern Ireland Executive. It would therefore be for the Executive to determine whether to subsidise minimum rural bus services.<\/p>
<\/p>
In England, the majority of bus services outside London and Manchester operate on a commercial basis. Decisions such as where to run services and the frequency of those services are in most places, mainly a matter for the operator. Where there is not enough demand for a bus route to be commercially viable in its own right, Local Transport Authorities (LTAs) have powers to subsidise bus services. Responsibility for securing non-commercially provided bus services sits with LTAs who are best placed to determine what is socially and economically necessary, not central government. The Government provides LTAs in England outside of London with £42 million annually through the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) for the purpose of subsidising socially necessary services that would otherwise be commercially unviable, helping to support rural routes. The Government also provides over £200 million directly to bus operators every year through the BSOG to keep fares down and help them maintain an extensive network. Also, we are providing £20m through the Rural Mobility Fund in England to trial 16 innovative demand responsive minibus services to better understand the challenges associated with introducing bookable bus services in rural and suburban settings<\/p>

The responsibility for taxi accessibility policy in Northern Ireland is devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive. We recognise that the provision of wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) in taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) fleets in England, however, varies considerably between areas, and that in some it may be inadequate to satisfy demand from wheelchair users. We also recognise that WAVs are difficult for some people to use and may not provide a universally accessible solution. In November we published best practice guidance for local licensing authorities in England, recommending they licence a mixed fleet of vehicles, whilst ensuring that WAV provision is sufficient to meet demand. We also propose to publish a Call for Evidence, seeking to understand the barriers that disabled taxi and PHV users face and options for addressing them.<\/p>
