Description

This memorandum of information is provided to consult with bus operators on proposals to develop a grant or other funding process for the purpose of increasing electric bus provision in Cardiff. The proposals are at this stage without status and subject to the decision of the Authority. the consultation will also explore the scope of setting criteria for the bidding stage of the process. The criteria may be altered from those set out in this document, depending, amongst other things, on the feedback received. Funding is available to the sum of 7.95 million GBP for Cardiff Council to increase the electric bus provision within (or primarily within) the council area. This is in pursuance of Welsh Government and council policies of moving more quickly towards a zero-emission bus fleet by 2035. In ‘Net Zero Wales’, the Welsh Government aims to deliver the following targets to decarbonise the bus fleet: "-" The whole Traws Cymru bus fleet to be zero tailpipe emission by 2026; "-" The most polluting 50% of service buses to be replaced by a zero-tailpipe emission bus fleet by 2028; and "-" The remaining 50% of the service bus fleet to be zero emission by 2035.
