Due to the rising pupil population, individual
need and complexity, there has been a rapid growth in demand for
the request and provision of passenger transport by Doncaster
Council. Therefore, there is a need to provide a strategic approach
to travel assistance policy and processes to deliver effective,
efficient and value for money passenger transport services for the
children and people of Doncaster.
Approval given to initiate formal consultation
period, to consult on the Travel Assistance Policy as part of the
Strategic Travel Assistance Review (STAR).
Option 1 - Agreement to commence formal
consultation
Option 2 - Formal consultation not agreed - This is clearly not the
preferred option and will severely impact on the development of the
Travel Assistance Policy, the timescales to deliver the changes
required and reduce the impact on the strategic approach for
STAR
Option 3 - is the recommended option. This will ensure the policy
reflects the needs of Doncaster residents and provides
opportunities for all stakeholders to share views/consult and allow
further engagement with local communities which will form a firm
foundation to support the development of the policy. This
consultation will provide a robust policy to present to Cabinet
where a decision will be made.
