The government's response
Published 4 March 2019.
Summary written by Accountability Index from the government's response. It is not the government's own words.The Government welcomes the opportunity MaaS presents and responds to the Committee's recommendations by describing existing and planned work, while noting that precisely what MaaS is "remains a point of debate".
- On strategy, the Department says it will publish a Future of Urban Mobility Strategy in early 2019 that will outline its approach to ensuring technologies and trends, "including MaaS", develop in line with its priorities.
- On funding for trials, it says £90m for 'Future Mobility Zones' was announced at Budget, with further detail "in early 2019". It states "We agree with the Committee" that MaaS should be tested across multiple modes and areas.
- On the proposed "no data, no service" policy, the Government does not adopt it. It "recognise[s] the importance of access to data" and describes a work programme, with Bus Services Act regulations "due to be laid in Summer 2019".
- On regulation, it says it has "committed to undertaking a thorough regulatory review of all relevant legislation", with further details to be announced alongside the Future of Urban Mobility Strategy.
