Follonica school transport service disruptions
Overview
The Municipality of Follonica faced significant disruptions to its local school transport service due to contractual non-compliance by the contracted provider. The service provider attributed the issues to difficulties in recruiting drivers who met specific technical requirements and qualifications.
In response, the administration initially launched an extraordinary recruitment appeal for qualified citizens with Category D licenses and CQC certification.
By mid-October, the municipality announced the restoration of regular shuttle services. To ensure reliability, the administration introduced a second shuttle vehicle operated by Golfo Tour to work alongside the existing service. The reorganized plan also includes dedicated staff to accompany children during commutes. Mayor Matteo Buoncristiani emphasized that the safety of children and the regularity of transport remain “non-negotiable priorities.”
