uin	136626
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in April 2017, outlines £1.2 billion of funding that may be invested in cycling and walking over the period to 2021. Since its publication, the Government has made further support available for cycling and walking infrastructure, through the National Productivity Investment Fund, Transforming Cities Fund and Clean Air Fund. Ultimately, decisions for allocating funding for cycle paths are for local authorities. In line with the Strategy, the Department for Transport is in the process of updating its guidance for local authorities on designing good, safe cycling infrastructure. In addition, the Department is providing 44 local authorities with access to expert support to assist in the development of ten-year Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans. This support will enable authorities to map their future cycle networks and to prioritise future investments.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 24/04/2018 16:33:40 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>The Department is supportive of concessions for 16-25 year olds. However, there are no plans at present to introduce a statutory national bus travel concession for all young people across England. Local authorities have the discretion to offer travel concessions to young people, funded from local resources. In addition, many operators offer discounted tickets on commercial basis.</p><p> </p><p>The Conservative Manifesto contained a commitment to introduce discounted travel on buses for apprentices. My Department is currently exploring the best way of delivering this.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 16/03/2018 13:09:58 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

uin	132426
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of public transport for both the sustainability and independence of rural communities. Since January 2014, £40m Bus Service Operator Grant (BSOG) funding per year is paid directly to local authorities, rather than bus operators, in relation to the services that councils fund. This funding is ring-fenced to ensure that it is used to support bus services, but within that it will be for each local authority to decide how to use it.</p><p> </p><p>We are also encouraging local authorities to innovate such as through our Total Transport pilot projects which have explored ways to join up the commissioning of publicly funded transport services so that available funding goes further. The Bus Services Act 2017 also provides a number of tools to facilitate local authorities working together with operators and communities to provide improved bus services in rural areas.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 16/03/2018 13:14:41 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

uin	5723
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>As part of their licence to operate, each train operating company is required to have a Disabled Persons’ Protection Policy (DPPP) in place. This sets out the level of services and facilities that disabled passengers can expect, how to get staff assistance, and how to get help if things do go wrong. Each operator is also required to participate in the Passenger Assist system which allows disabled passengers to book staff assistance when they require it.</p><p> </p><p>In many instances across the country, staff on the platform are readily available to help disabled passengers. Train crew have a role too, however there is no link between accessibility and driver-only operation running of trains. For example on Southern Rail, 98% of trains that are operated by the driver retain a second member of staff on the train, who can help both able bodied and disabled passengers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 05/09/2017 16:24:02 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
