Minutes:
Following the Local Concessionary Travel Charge item (M167/HPE) being discussed at this Committee in July where Member’s did not support the current proposal, a Member requested an update following its approval at the Combined Authority meeting in July 2019.
The Mayor clarified to Members that the concerns raised at this Committee had been considered and noted prior to the decision being taken to adopt the proposal at the Combined Authority meeting. The rationale for signing off the proposal was given that a £10 administration charge was in place for all of the other concessionary schemes in GM for other age generations such as Our Pass, IGO and Women’s Concessionary Travel Pass, and that to not incorporate it would create an equality/equal treatment issue. It was also felt that the charge was proportionate, and that to delay the decision would impact upon its implementation.
It was reaffirmed that the concessionary charge only relates to the Metrolink and train travel, with bus unaffected and free for all older people of state pension age and over.
It was clarified that in terms of comparison of this pass to the other concessionary travel offers, whilst the older persons pass does have a time restriction (not valid before 09:30), it encompasses more options such as tram and train, whilst the other options were only bus.
It was clarified to Members that using the Concessionary pass to tap in and out will not result in a charge, but doing so will assist TfGM to monitor footfall and for planning purposes.
RESOLVED/-
That the Minutes of 11th July be agreed as an accurate record.
