Inquiry scope
This inquiry will assess public transport travel trends in towns and cities. It will consider the impact of technological and digital developments on travel behaviours, future trends in public transport innovation and how public policy may be shaped in light of these trends. We will consider connectivity across modes and better integration through data and innovation. The inquiry will also explore the extent to which local authorities are equipped with delivering high-quality public transport services. The Committee published its report on 8 November 2022. The Government's response was received on 12 January 2023.Reports
