The Local Transport Act 2008 gives operators and local transport authorities a whole new toolbox of powers and options for improving local bus services.

We’ve built this site to help operators and local transport authorities make the best use of the exciting new opportunities the Act opens up on voluntary and statutory quality partnerships.

We’ll do this by providing a practical resource on how the Act’s provisions on voluntary and statutory partnerships can be applied. We aim to save both operators and local transport authorities time and money, and get more, and more effective, partnerships in place.

Here you’ll find the framework principles that both CPT and pteg have signed up to on what a voluntary partnership can contain – from both a legal and a policy perspective. You’ll also find key documentation on voluntary and statutory partnerships that are signed, sealed and delivered – or on their way. These documents can be used as template for partnership deals elsewhere. After all why start from scratch when others are happy to share what they have done already?
