DRAFT Vision • Cornwall’s Integrated Transport Unit (ITU) will be a one stop shop for passenger transport. It will bring together transport services delivered by a range of providers across Cornwall for travel by taxi, minibus or service bus. Through working with the public sector, private sector and third sector, the ITU will provide the most efficient transport services possible for the community of Cornwall ensuring as much of the budgets as possible are expended on front line services, not on administration. The ITU will be the single point of contact for customers and staff of Cornwall Council and patients and staff of Royal Cornwall Hospital for the provision of passenger transport services and general travel advice.
