answer text <p>Air quality is managed across a range of policy areas led by several departments, which are continuing to address this important issue. The primary focus in the short term is on bringing forward compliance with legal limits for NO<sub>2</sub> concentrations, and stakeholders from seven departments take part in the coordinated implementation and governance of the NO<sub>2 </sub>Plan. The principle cause of these emissions is transport, and that is why the Defra-DfT Joint Air Quality Unit continues to lead this work. A Ministerial Oversight Group for air quality is in place to ensure a coherent approach across Government, and gives ministers from Defra, DfT, DHSC, MHCLG and HMT direct oversight of the delivery of the Plan.</p> more like this

answer text <p>At the International Zero Emission Vehicle Summit in September, the Government announced that it would provide up to £2 million of support for e-cargo bikes. This followed a call for evidence on how the Government could best harness the opportunities for greener delivery in our towns and cities.</p><p> </p><p>The funding will contribute 20% of the purchase price of new e-cargo bikes up to the first £5,000 of any purchase price. This gives a maximum grant of £1,000 per bike, regardless of the purchase price of the bike. Funding will be conditional on individual businesses following a code of cycle safety good practice and will be split between larger fleets and smaller operators to ensure benefits are available to and spread between all sizes of business. Replacing traditional last mile delivery vehicles with electric delivery bikes can help towards cutting traffic, reducing congestion and cleaning up our air.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The original intention of the statutory minimum bus travel concession scheme was to provide access to essential local services and to help prevent social isolation. The scheme was introduced as an off-peak concession only, when there is likely to be unused capacity on buses.</p><p>However, the Government recognises the importance of accessible transport for disabled people, and the Department continues to work with the Department for Work and Pensions and other Government Departments on this issue, as well as with local authorities and the transport sector.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities have the powers of their own to offer concessions over and above the statutory minimum, including peak hour travel.</p> more like this
