Just spotted this in the news (even though it’s Scotland), but we really need to look at this in England too!!!! I don’t think our volunteer drivers are reimbursed enough given they are doing what ambulances used to do a lot of the time.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tfn.scot/news/calls-for-review-of-volunteer-mileage-reimbursement-rate">https://tfn.scot/news/calls-for-review-of-volunteer-mileage-reimbursement-rate</a>Perhaps people are starting to take note? <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="drivers" href="https://ctf.beam.gg/search?hashtag=drivers">#drivers</a> <a data-hashtag class="hashtag" data-id="fees" href="https://ctf.beam.gg/search?hashtag=fees">#fees</a>

Volunteer Driver Reimbursement Rate

Hi everyone,I am working with a small tram in Guernsey on an integrated transport project. Our aim is getting transport providers to work together to meet demand, reduce the number of minibuses siting idle for most of the day, and to also reduce the number of cars on the roads.One area where I am in great need of advice is that of passengers paying towards the cost of transport. We presently offer:i. Free voluntary transport (charity. funded).ii. Free voluntary cars service (Health Service mileage paid where appropriate).iii. Charged, subsidised, or free public transport.I am aware that with many voluntary car services in the UK, drivers receive a payment from the passenger to cover costs.I appreciate our laws are a little different to the UK, however I would like to offer a service where those who have funds, cover in full or part a voluntary drivers costs.I am trying to reach an agreement with our transport department on ‘Payment or Reward’ - i.e. when transport falls into the category of private hire.I would really appreciate any feedback on how those who refund drivers have managed to reach agreements on this issue.Kind RegardsSteve BirchGuernsey Integrated Transport Project.
