As part of the application process for the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) 2 scheme, the Department for Transport (DfT) requested that local transport authorities (LTAs) notified DfT of their intention to apply.
An expression of interest (EOI) consisted of an email to DfT that outlined the LTA’s intention to submit a completed application form and supporting documentation by 15 December 2023.
As part of the application process, LTAs will need to complete detailed governance and discussions with local operators. It is unlikely that all LTAs who have expressed an interest at this early stage of the process will go on to submit a full proposal.
No financial commitments were required from an LTA as part of the EOI process.
DfT has received 58 EOIs.
