Access drivers to get new lifting fee

5/1/2022

Picture
The South Australian Government will now pay a lifting fee of $25 plus GST to the driver for all 50, 75 and 100% South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme (SATSS) trips booked through the Access Centralised Booking Service.

​This replaces the on-time bonus previously payable to the driver and the $10 lifting fee that applied to 75 and 100% SATSS trips.



What are the changes?
Drivers will receive a $25 lifting fee for any passenger who uses a SATSS voucher or card to receive a 50%, 75% or 100% fare subsidy where the trip is booked through the Access Centralised Booking Service (CBS).

The lifting fee tariffs will be displayed on the meter as:
  • Tariff 5 (weekdays 6am to 7pm); and
  • Tariff 6 (other times).

This replaces the existing lifting fee and driver on-time bonus payments for operators to streamline the fees paid by the State Government for provision of this essential service.

What are the benefits?
The increased lifting fee payable on a broader category of trips seeks to improve service delivery through reduced wait times and improved services for Access Taxi customers.

How does it work for drivers?
50% member trips where a voucher is being used will now be treated in the same way as 75% trips. The effect of this will be to ensure the meter is paused and Tariff 5 or 6 applied.

What's next?
From early 2022, the $25 lifting fee will be expanded to all trips taken by SATSS members regardless of whether SATSS funds their trip.
