NTA Approves New Local Area Hackney Measures to Support Rural Transport
The Board of the National Transport Authority (NTA) has approved a series of amendments to the Local Area Hackney (LAH) licence regulations and related processes. These revised regulations are designed to enhance rural transport by strengthening community involvement in identifying local transport needs and increasing flexibility in how their LAH services operate.
The updated approach will take effect from April 1st when the NTA will launch a new online Local Area Hackney application page. Ahead of this date, the NTA will publish further details on the new and improved process as well as helpful guidance for prospective applicants to guide them through their application. Interested parties should keep an eye on the NTA/TFI Latest News pages throughout March for more information ahead of the launch.
