We are creating a light touch framework. The Council offers travel assistance for children and vulnerable adults between home and school/day care who are eligible for transport support under the Council’s policies. Travel assistance is provided through a combination of internal fleet delivery and external contracts for separate routes. Eligible people are transported to and from the school/college/day care centre safely and on time or at a time to suit the needs of the service requirements. This should be in a provision that is clean, correctly maintained, appropriate to user needs and driven by courteous and respectful drivers who can attend to their specific needs, supported when required by passenger assistants.
