Social Value Toolkit for Buses Launch

Written By Harriet Awofisan

This event took place on Friday 13 September 2024

Buses are critical social infrastructure, connecting people to essential support networks, jobs, opportunities, healthcare, and more, all whilst bringing added value to groups of protected characteristics, who represent a significant portion of bus user. In recognition of the role that buses play for the delivery of Social Value, the Department for Transport commissioned Arup to develop a ‘Social Value Toolkit’ to support the delivery of the Bus Service Improvements Programme (BSIP). This document builds on the extensive work conducted by various organisations as well as on evolving policy and research, to outline the approach to Social Value for the programme as well as mechanisms for delivery.

You can find out more about the social value toolkit by exploring our latest blog post, or download the Toolkit.
