This online event is hosted by Bus Centre of Excellence (BCoE), in collaboration with the Department for Transport (DfT) and Arup, in support of DfT’s Enhanced Partnership Review.  

This online session is aimed to capture the experience and views of our stakeholders who may have been unable to attend our face-to-face events or were not able to give feedback via DfT’s stakeholder survey. To avoid duplication, we ask that you join only if you have not yet engaged with the EP Review but would like to input into its findings and next steps. 

The DfT have launched a review of Enhanced Partnerships (EPs), in support of the Government’s objective to empower local leaders to deliver ambitious plans that improve the bus passenger experience and grow patronage. The EP Review aims to identify areas where EPs can be improved and strengthened to deliver a better standard of bus services across the country.   

This online event is a chance for those involved closely with Enhanced Partnerships to input into the review to share where you have found successes and experienced challenges. We want to understand the support you might need from the DfT and BCoE to improve your partnership working, seek your suggestions for how the EP guidance could be improved, and discuss what reasonable minimum expectations for bus services would look like across the country.
