A new vehicle sanitisation station opens in Leumeah today making it the third Sydney location to offer point to point transport providers a free sanitisation service to reduce the spread of Coronavirus and help keep drivers and passengers safe.
All point to point transport vehicles, including taxis, hire vehicles and rideshare as well as community transport are eligible for the complimentary once-per-vehicle-per-day service, with drivers also encouraged to do spot cleans in between sanitisation.
Point to Point Transport Commissioner Anthony Wing said the new location will offer increased safety to point to point transport passengers and drivers in the South Western Sydney area following the development of a cluster of COVID-19 cases.
“With many people within the community relying on the point to point transport industry as an essential service, I cannot stress how important the safety of drivers and passengers is at this time.”
“We encourage all point to point transport providers and NSW Government vehicles to make use of the service – which includes disinfecting high-touch areas like outside and inside door handles, window controls, headrests and payment terminals – to keep not only themselves safe but also their passengers,” Mr Wing said.
The new location is the result of a successful tender application to help Transport for NSW establish emergency Vehicle Sanitisation Stations in Sydney Metropolitan and Regional NSW.
The vehicle sanitisation station is located at 7/4 Grange Road, Leumeah and will be open from 7am to 7pm from Monday to Saturday (closed on Sundays and public holidays).
There are now eight vehicle sanitisation stations operating across the state.
