For central and local government

Central and Local Government Transport

Coordinated transport across every service.

The transport you commission and the transport you run directly, on one platform, with the audit trail and the reporting that public accountability asks for. Report across every service without stitching three systems together first.

One platform, every service

Bring what you commission under one system

Education, adult social care, community schemes and secure movements are usually bought separately and reported separately, which is why the numbers never quite reconcile. Road XS runs them on shared capability, so one journey record can answer a finance question, a safeguarding review and an audit.

Every service

DRT, social care, community and secure movements

Flexible services routed on the day, adult social care and patient transport, the volunteer led schemes you fund, home to school and SEND, and statutory escorted movements. Each carries its own rules, eligibility and reporting, and all of it runs in one place.

Integration

One platform across departments

Education, adult social care and community schemes run on shared capability rather than three procurements and three reporting formats. You see the whole transport picture, and each service still sees only its own.

Auditing

Proof you gather as you go

Every journey builds its own timestamped record of who moved whom, when, and that vetting and safeguarding were satisfied before it set off. The same trail answers a safeguarding review and an audit, so responding to either means exporting what is already sitting there.

Home to school and SEND

The line item that gets the most scrutiny

Home to school and SEND transport is where cost pressure and safeguarding scrutiny land on the same desk. Driver vetting and training are enforced before allocation, SEND requirements surface on every journey, and the system records that both happened.

The things people ask us first

If yours is not here, just ask. You will get a straight answer from someone who knows the software.

Yes. It is what the platform was built for. The services share fleet, drivers and journey data while keeping their own eligibility rules, charging and reporting. You get the whole picture, and each team still sees only its own service.

Who travelled, with which driver and assistants, when each pickup and handover happened, and that vetting and safeguarding were satisfied before the journey went out. It is captured as the journey runs and exported on demand.

DBS, licence, insurance, MOT and training currency are all tracked, and a driver who falls out of clearance cannot be put on a run. The system also keeps a record that it checked, which is usually the part a safeguarding review wants to see.

Two factor authentication, single sign on, role based access, hourly backups, encrypted connections and independent penetration testing are standard for every customer, with data handled under UK GDPR.

Both. Costs, journeys, occupancy and cost per passenger can be segmented by service, contract or department, and consolidated when you need the whole transport position.

SEND requirements sit with the pupil and are applied to every run, assistants are allocated rather than assumed, runs follow the school calendar, and cost per pupil comes from real journey data.

Most authorities start with one service, prove it works, then extend. Tell us what you commission and what you run directly, and we will be straight with you about sequencing, including anything we would talk you out of.
