Will the Minister outline how much money is left in the Bus Transition Fund?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 10/11/2023
Since the Bus Transition Fund (BTF) was introduced on 25 July we have made payments of £14.5m to local authorities against an allocation of £28m for the period 25 July 2023 to 31 March 2024. How this funding should be distributed across Wales was agreed through the WLGA prior to the introduction of the BTF. My officials continue to work closely with the lead local authorities for each of the regions to monitor the position.
