Our communities tell us they want more reliable, frequent and affordable bus services. That's what we're working hard to deliver through the Government-funded Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP).
One of the ways the BSIP aims to improve bus services is with something called bus priority schemes. These include new bus lanes, traffic signals or other measures that give buses priority over other traffic.
These schemes mainly focus on changes along the A38, A369 and A370, as well as in Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare, where we are also investing the temporary BSIP funding in lower fares and more frequent buses. To improve your bus travel experience, we also plan to create new transport hubs and upgrade bus stops and shelters.
How the improvements will help
The schemes will help meet future passenger and network demand by improving traffic flow, easing congestion and increasing capacity and performance. It will enable people to travel affordably, reliably and sustainably by bus.
We have been engaging with local communities and representatives throughout the BSIP funding window, asking for feedback on different schemes.
The information, knowledge and views residents share with us is invaluable. Your views are crucial in helping us test whether proposals will be effective and if any changes are needed before final decisions are made.
You can find the latest information about the progress of the schemes in each area on our dedicated webpages.
