Summary
The Integrated Passenger Transport Operations Team is responsible for the safe and efficient use of over 120 minibuses to transport people in North Yorkshire. The team comprises approximately 350 drivers and passenger assistants that operate at locations throughout North Yorkshire.
The team delivers approximately 250,000 passenger journeys per year including 20,000 wheelchair user journeys.
