Issue details

York’s Dial & Ride Service

Purpose of report: This report provides detail of the changing nature of the operation of York’s Dial & Ride service in light of emerging procurement and legislative requirements and asks the Executive Member for confirmation of the Council’s continued support for funding of the service.


The Executive Member will be asked to: Consider the report content and determine the preferred option for dealing with stationary idling vehicle emissions in York.

 

This item has been withdrawn because the legal framework which guides how the York Dial & Ride service and indeed a large number of community transport operations across the UK are operated is currently under review. The Government plans to launch a public consultation on this subject in the coming months. The outcome of the consultation is understood to be revised guidance for local authorities and community transport operators. As this guidance will potentially impact fundamentally on the operational arrangements for the York Dial & Ride service, any decision taken by the Executive Member at this stage would be premature and could contradict the forthcoming national guidance.
