Managing transport

INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW

Managing transport

For groups that need to provide transport for their members or people participating in their activities – particularly relevant to groups in rural areas or for groups working with people with mobility problems – buying a vehicle, such as a minibus, may be a real consideration.

Before taking on a vehicle

You need to carefully assess all the risks involved before entering into any form of lease or purchase of a vehicle for your organisation. It demands responsibility and commitment to provide an appropriate service. You may need to recruit people if this is a new area of work for your organisation and brings with it a great deal of new responsibilities that includes training, health & safety legislation, asset management, maintenance and running costs as well as storage and fuel.
