DDAT provide affordable and accessible transport for member groups. In
2016/2017 we provided 42,274 group hire trips equating to 5307 hours. This was an 8% increase on trips from 2015 / 2016 trips and a 5% increase on the hours.
In 2017- 2019 we will continue to review each Group Membership to ensure their activities are in keeping with Community Transport.
We will review each regular Group Booking to see if we have the necessary
resources.
we will continue to provide MIDAS training to our Member Groups to enable them to use minibuses for ‘volunteer self drive’. From April 2017 this will only be provided to volunteer drivers with D1 (NFHR) category on their driving licence. This may change if there is a change to DFI Licensing Guideline
