Frontier has produced an independent handbook on behalf of the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT), designed to help local authorities deliver the best experience for bus passengers.

The Bus Regulation Handbook has been endorsed by the DfT as an appropriate tool to support Local Transport Authorities (LTAs) as they consider their options for local bus service provision, to better meet passenger needs in their own local area, in a sustainable way.

This Handbook provides:

• An overview of the bus service provision models available for local authorities to choose from;
• An 8-step framework for LTAs to use to compare and assess the options for local bus provision and make an evidence-based decision informed by analysis, expertise and stakeholder views; and
• Supporting evidence and illustrations of relevant factors to consider.

This document should be read alongside an accompanying Excel Toolkit which LTAs can use to implement the 8-step framework set out in this Handbook.
