Local Transport Act 2008

Section 67: Subsidy to secure passenger transport services in integrated transport areas

183.This section amends section 9A of the TA 1968, which sets out the general functions of Passenger Transport Authorities (to be renamed “Integrated Transport Authorities” by the Act) and Passenger Transport Executives (“PTEs”). Section 9A(4) empowers a PTE to enter into agreements in order to secure the provision of passenger transport services where the service would not otherwise be provided. The effect of this section is to empower a PTE to enter into such agreements also in cases where the service would not otherwise be provided “to a particular standard”. Subsection (3) provides that the term “standard” includes the frequency or timing of the service, the days or times of day when the service may be provided, and the vehicles used to provide the service.

184.This section extends to England and Wales, but since there are no passenger transport areas in Wales, it has no effect there.
