Bus Services Operator’s Grant
A number of important changes were introduced to the Bus Service Operator Grant 2014 [PDF, 136Kb] from 1 January 2014. This council received the payments for all bus operators who run a subsidised bus route service in North Lincolnshire.
A proportion of the payment continues to be paid directly to bus operators from the Department for Transport (DFT). The rest of the grant is used to maintain the current level of subsidised bus routes in North Lincolnshire.
Subsidised routes are those which could not economically operate without support.
As part of the grant conditions, North Lincolnshire Council is required to report on how they have made use of these funds by completing a short survey issued by the DFT, details of which can be found in the Bus Service Operator Grant Survey-2024-2025 [PDF, 118Kb]. Full details of the methodology used can be found in the document.
