A Cleaner Future for Lothian Buses

Lodged by Alison Johnstone Green Lodged 7 Sep 2011 9 supporters Cross-party support

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news that the Scottish Government is providing funding for greener buses for Lothian Buses; understands that hybrid buses can reduce climate change emissions, improve air quality and provide employment for Scottish workers; welcomes this small step that will see 48 new low-emission buses out of a fleet of more than 4,000, and calls on the Scottish Government to demonstrate a real commitment to its climate change targets by investing in public transport and ensuring that every new bus in Scotland is a low-emission hybrid bus.
