EAST Riding of Yorkshire council is starting reviews of its transport services in a bid to improve and save £2 million a year.
The reviews will look at home-to-school transport to try and reduce reliance on taxis, more flexible use of vehicles used to take children to special schools, a new fuel management system designed to save 10 percent on fuel costs, and the travel options for adults going to day care centres.
Cllr Symon Fraser said: “Some of these initiatives may seem small but together they equate to significant annual savings for the council andwithout having a major impact on passengers.”
