Transport group
Brief Description/Aims of the Group:
The Transport Group was set up to improve transport for children and young people across County Durham.
Through various Agenda days held across the County, it was identified by children and young peoples that their issues to do with transport are around:
- The fact there is not one discount travel scheme card that can be used on all services.
- Accessibility and Safety for Children and Young People with Disabilities.
- Lack of Driver Training.
- Costings and Reliability of Bus Services
- Bus Provision in Rural Areas
- School Travel and Post 16 Travel
Location of work: County Wide
Meeting Times and Dates: Unfortunately due to the current financial cuts the transport group meetings are currently on hold.
However if you have any issues regarding transport in County Durham please get in touch with Ellie.
Work to Date: Over the past year the Transport Group at IiC have been working to improve transport for children and young people across the County. They have been involved in raising the profile of transport issues through the bus companies and with Durham County Council. As a result they have been involved in shaping things like the new Driver Training programmes with Arriva and doing mystery shopping on local bus services.
The group were involved in having a say in Durham County Councils Transport Strategy.
