Local Transport Minister appointed – RHA welcomes

Richard Smith, RHA Managing Director, said:

Many congratulations to Local Transport Minister, Simon Lightwood MP on his appointment.

We look forward to working with him to represent the needs of RHA coach members. Coaches are vital for tourism, school transport, professional and amateur sports, and being there when other forms of transport fail. And it does all this while being one of the cleanest forms of transport, with per-passenger emissions comparable to rail.

Since we launched our coach membership in 2021, we continue to build our profile in the coach sector and we stand ready to collaborate with the new Minister on solutions to support coach operators across the country.
