To undertake an open procurement process to
select a bus operator responsible for providing drivers and vehicle
maintenance for Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services, and to
establish a partnership with Lincolnshire County Council for the
implementation of the 'Call Connect' service.
Maintaining a Demand Responsive Transport
(DRT) service in North Lincolnshire is essential for ensuring
accessibility and mobility for all residents, supporting community
wellbeing, promoting environmental sustainability, stimulating
economic growth, enhancing road safety, and building public trust.
This investment prepares the region for future transportation needs
and demonstrates the authority's commitment to providing essential
services.
To leave the current contract to expire. This
would leave North Lincolnshire without a DRT service.
