The project will deliver a reduction in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions from at least 20 buses with local bus operators operating local bus services. The primary objectives of the project using the funding are: - To reduce roadside concentrations of NO2 from buses, in those areas where the oldest/lowest Euro emission buses are operating - To promote a shift to cleaner buses and using Accredited Technologies - To support our wider long-term commitments on clean growth. We are therefore seeking expressions of interest from local bus operators to participate in the programme and access the fund by the closing date of 1200 noon on 13th July 2020. In order to express your interest in this project please do so through BravoSolution, the WMCA's e-tendering portal ([wmca.bravosolution.co.uk](https://wmca.bravosolution.co.uk)).
