About

Leicestershire County Council awarded a contract to Woods Coaches Ltd for the operation of a new demand responsive transport (DRT) service.

The service was funded by the Government's Rural Mobility Fund, which aims to trial on-demand bus services in rural or suburban areas.

The objectives of the DRT service, as set out by the Department for Transport (DfT), were to improve access to employment, education, healthcare and other services; enable greater social inclusion and reduce isolation; provide a public transport offer that attracts a diverse customer base; and support the Government's commitments to tackling air pollution and reducing carbon emissions by reducing reliance on private vehicles.

The contract value was AUD 1,090,783.
