Specialised school transporters in need of drivers

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 16 February 2024

There are children up and down the country with diverse safety and mobility needs that need support getting to and from school.

SESTA is the Specialised School Transport Assistance programme run by the Ministry of Education, and Cross Country Rentals transport around 2500 students daily under this programme.

But they need more drivers!

Cross Country Rentals project manager Tony Dickason talks to Mark about what they're looking for.
