The report develops and analyses proposals for output-based funding (OBF) for passenger transport, including implications of output-based contracts, and the use of subsidised deregulation.
Particular attention is given to reviewing area-based contracts as compared with route-based.
It is concluded that OBF is likely to improve delivery of regional council objectives with regard to better meeting customer needs and increasing patronage.
