Financial help to promote bus or community transport services
The Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) can be used to support bus services, community transport and infrastructure.
The grant can only be used for:
- supporting bus services - for example, marketing and advertising costs
- community transport - for examples, start-up costs to run a lift share initiative
- for the provision of ‘infrastructure’ supporting such services - for example, buying a new bus shelter
- supporting community transport linked projects without the restriction to section 19 operations
How to apply for the grant
To be considered for the funding programme, we suggest you get your application in early in the year.
All applications are considered on a first come first served basis and will depend on funding still being available.
