What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to improve the process for implementing the bus franchising powers in the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 by:
- amending the Act to remove the requirement for proposed franchising frameworks to be approved by a panel appointed by the Traffic Commissioner, instead empowering Regional Transport Partnerships (RTPs) to have the final say;
- providing additional funding to support RTPs in preparing franchising frameworks and assisting them with initial set-up costs once frameworks are approved.
