What action is the Minister taking to improve public transport in rural areas?
Wales’ rural communities make up around a third of our population, and are spread across all parts of the country. Providing access to sustainable, safe and reliable public transport is vital not only to achieving our climate change goals but to help people access the services, employment, cultural and education opportunities to help them thrive.
I was pleased to be able to host a series of round tables with local authority leaders and transport experts from across Wales at the end of last year to discuss our plans in more detail, which have helped shape our approach.
I will be publishing a written statement on our rural transport pathway shortly.
