School Transport Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

At Moving PEOPLE, we understand the importance of safe and reliable transport for schools and educational institutions. As an approved transport supplier to Lancashire County Council, we have a strong reputation for providing high-quality service to schools and colleges in the area. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond transportation, as we prioritise the safety and security of students in our care.

Home to School Transport:

We proudly transport nearly 1800 students to and from school every day. As a trusted partner of Lancashire County Council, all our drivers undergo enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) clearance, ensuring a safe environment for students during their journeys. We maintain a close relationship with the Lancashire County Council Safer Travel Unit to implement rigorous safety measures and protocols.

School Day Trips:

Our fleet of buses and coaches has been specially designed or adapted to cater to the needs of school groups. All vehicles are equipped with seat belts and the latest safety features. We are dedicated to assisting with the planning of school day trips, offering guidance on risk assessments, itineraries, and other essential details. Recognising the budgetary constraints faced by schools, we provide competitive rates without compromising on quality.

School Holidays:

Planning a school trip abroad? We have you covered. Whether it's a European excursion via ferry or the Channel Tunnel, we offer comprehensive support, including planning, scheduled stops, hotel arrangements, insurance, and risk assessments. We can also provide transportation to and from international airports for longer-distance school holidays, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for both students and staff.

Students with Disabilities:

We prioritise inclusivity and accessibility. Our ramp-access vehicle can accommodate up to 2 fixed wheelchairs and more with lateral transfers. Passengers who prefer to remain in their wheelchairs can do so in a secure, forward-facing position, with approved anchorages and safety harnesses. All passenger seats are equipped with full three-point (lap and diagonal) seat belts, ensuring the utmost safety and comfort for all.
