About this Event
Across the three Sub-national Transport bodies 35 Local Transport Authorities have worked in partnership with their local bus operators and Enhanced Partnerships are now in place. These Enhanced Partnerships are at different stages of development; some have been in existence for two years, some a few months.
This event is a unique opportunity for Enhanced Partnership Chairs and Managers to discuss how Enhanced Partnerships have formed or evolved. This process has required significant effort from all parties involved and this will be a space to take stock and identify ways to maximise the impact of the EP in the future. The conference will concentrate on bringing the wealth of knowledge and experience from across the regions together to share learning and explore how to build on joint progress for the benefit of all our communities.
Morning session - Delivering a successful Enhanced Partnership
To collectively identify the key factors that have made a difference to delivering a successful Enhanced Partnership through:
- Comparing how Enhanced Partnerships have formed or evolved – what has worked well and what has not worked so well
- Discussing innovation and good practice
- Identifying what support has been vital to establishing the Enhanced Partnerships, including exploring the impact of different levels of funding.
Afternoon Session - Driving forward Enhanced Partnerships
To collectively develop a series of recommendations for Enhanced Partnerships to reflect on what is relevant for their location and what funding and support they need from government and wider industry partners to continue to deliver successful Enhanced Partnerships:
- Focus 1 – up to the end of current BSIP funding in 2024/2025
- Focus 2 – up to 2030
- Focus 3 – wider policy and legislative support.
