The Quality Partnership Schemes (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2009
These Regulations amend the Quality Partnership Schemes (England) Regulations 2009 (“the QPS Regulations”) (S.I. 2009/445), made under sections 122 and 160 of the Transport Act 2000 (“TA 2000”). A quality partnership scheme is a scheme made by a local transport authority, or two or more such authorities acting jointly, under which the authority provides particular facilities at specific locations along routes on which local bus services are operated, and operators of local services who wish to use those facilities agree to provide services of a particular standard. Quality partnership schemes are made under Part 2 of the TA 2000, as amended by the Local Transport Act 2008.
