Public Transport Policy

Please can you provide me with the Education Travel Policy for the current year (I can find only you 2019 draft is online), any wider public transport policy, in particular where references are made to integration of transport services and expectation around consultation and consideration).

The Devon County Council (DCC) Education Transport Policies can be viewed on this DCC webpage.

The DCC Transport Planning Webpage gives more information, as does the DCC Bus Service Improvement Plan Webpage.

Item 4.4 of the DCC Bus Improvement Plan covers integration with other transport services, and item 5.1 refers to consultation with and consideration of passengers.

Documentation around service level agreements with Stagecoach, penalties and structure for enforcement around service delivery. I suspect this latter information may be contained in a document that contains wider sensitive contractual information, I only need the information around SLAs, enforcement and penalties and the document reference number.

All transport operators carrying out contracted work for DCC must do so under the umbrella of DCC’s Provision of Passenger Transport – Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). All the individual contracts sit under the DPS umbrella.

The Pre-Qualification Questionnaire which lays out the requirements for transport operators to join the DPS. Section B8 covers Performance and Contract Monitoring.

The Terms and Conditions relate to the commissioning of Supported Local Bus Service Contracts. Item 24 covers Monitoring, Penalty Payments and Termination for Breach.
