Transport service helps learning centre

The 4C's Transport Brokerage has recently helped The Peninsula Alternative Learning Centre at Umina PCYC by providing transport for its students.

"The 4Cs examined the existing possibilities for travelling to the ALC from home and return for some young individuals," said service coordinator Mr Roger Hunt.

"For anyone without access to a car, the challenges presented by distance, time and the number of interchanges required were a formidable, if not a significant deterrent.

"Naturally this is a real problem if the course of learning or the job offered presents a valuable opportunity to a young person.

"We do recognise that other members of the community can be and are affected by the same transport problems as young people," he said.

The Peninsula ALC and its partners have agreed to reimburse the costs of community volunteers coordinated by the 4C's to provide a transportation assistance service.
