Description

This is a joint event with Reading Borough Council (RBC).
RBC are reviewing licensing arrangements for hire vehicles and would like feedback from those currently delivering school transport.
Brighter Futures for Children is reviewing the ways in which we provide school transport and would like feedback from current and potential providers on our proposals.
Our proposals include:
• reducing the number of single collections;
• reduce the number of home pick-ups and introduce routes with pick-up points;
• reduce our emissions inline with our environmental policies by using larger vehicles;
• working with our neighbouring local authorities to reduce the number of routes.
