Notice Title

York and North Yorkshire Bus Reform Study

Notice Description

Y&NYCA are conducting a procurement for an experienced consultant to explore the options available to the Mayor to reform, or even take greater control, of bus services in our area. The study will require an assessment of the particular features and attributes of our bus network, our communities and our geography. We do not want a generic study of bus reform options, we require a focused study that considers the particular needs and constraints that apply to York and North Yorkshire.
