Transport FAQs
Why have some requests for transport not been met?
We have been informed today by SPT, who organise mainstream school transport contracts on our behalf, that they have been unable to organise transport on a range of routes. SPT has not informed us specifically why they have been unable to carry out this task and their informing the council of these issues at the last minute is wholly unacceptable. SPT has apologised and accepted that this should not have happened. However, certainly on Wednesday August 17, the routes detailed in the table above will not run.
In addition, a number of taxi contractors for ASN schools have withdrawn from their contracts in the last 48 hours due to a shortage of qualified drivers.
Why are parents/carers only finding this out the day before schools return?
SPT only informed the council that they were unable to arrange some contracts on Tuesday August 16, with email confirmation arriving with the council shortly before 3pm. This is wholly unacceptable to the council. SPT has apologised and is committed to working with the council to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.
Do these issues affect only North Lanarkshire Council?
No. Other councils have reported similar difficulties.
What alternatives are available to parents whilst the situation is being resolved?
Officers from our transport team will contact families affected by ASN provision directly to discuss and explore options.
For those affected by transport issues for mainstream provision, we are appealing to parents and carers to find suitable alternative means for children and young people to get to and from school. However, the list of routes on this page will not run on Wednesday August 17.
Why can’t we use council buses?
We make as much use of our council fleet as possible taking account of available vehicles and drivers. However, the demand for transport far exceeds this capacity.
What is the council doing to resolve this?
We will continue to work with SPT to resolve the issue, as well as examining other options as quickly as possible. This includes contacting all available transport providers to help us.
We will remain in direct contact with all affected families with young people in ASN provision, keeping them up to date on any changes or developments.
We will update this page as soon as we have any new information, and communicate with parents via group call.
