More than Just…interviews

Sometimes things are more than they seem. Simple labels  like “bus” or “transit” simply don’t describe the full story. More than just…is our Network’s way to celebrate the journey that community groups have taken to put wheels on the road. Every episode tells the backstory of how communities came together to meet the transportation needs of all Nova Scotians in their communities. Because sometimes a bus is more than just ….

Insurance Questions around Volunteer Drivers

NSCTN developed this guide to clearly outline the best practices for organizations that recruit volunteer drivers to transport people. This guide has two goals:

2. Supply tools and forms to help screen potential volunteers.
