Blackpool Council (The Authority) and its Wholly Owned transport company, Blackpool Transport Services (BTS) submitted a joint submission to the Department for Transport to secure Zero Emission Bus Regional Area (ZEBRA) grant funding in order to replace the existing diesel fleet with electric buses.
