We have been approached by a member of staff requiring to move between our campuses (usually walkable - longest distance is about 5-8 mins away from main campus) but this staff member has mobility difficulties and cannot do this easily or quickly. We don't always have parking spaces available to reserve so that she can use her own car to move about and she has referred to the fact that other HEIs she is aware of would provide this sort of service to staff in her position.
We have encouraged her to apply to access to work for the travel element but I would be interested to hear if anyone does indeed provide on site transport for staff and how this works. We have previously had requests for a 'shuttle bus' type service from our students who have various mobility difficulties but this has never been pursued for practical reasons - again, does anyone run this type pf provision and if so, how does it work.
Many thanks in advance,
Lesley
