This meeting was about whether to agree the updated Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) for Surrey. This plan was created in response to new guidance from the Department for Transport about what should be in BSIPs. The report pack included for discussion a draft of the BSIP, a description of what has been achieved since the previous BSIP, a summary of the targets that are to be included in the plan, and a timetable for the plan's adoption. It is important to note that this was a decision meeting for which only the meeting pack is available.
