Community Transport

What is Community Transport?

Community Transport schemes are set up to serve people who do not have access to conventional transport or are unable to use it.

What Community Transport options are there?

Door to Door - Often referred to as Dial a Ride, and needs to be pre-booked by individuals who become members of the organisation providing the transport. The service provides individual members with door to door transport either using minibuses or cars (see Community Car Schemes) and can be used for a number of trip purposes.

Community Bus Services - Minibuses operated by volunteers and paid drivers serve regular routes to published timetables.  They are available to all members of the general public.  They also operate a variety of other journeys to address local needs.

Minibus Group Travel - Vehicles owned by community groups are made available to other local organisations for low cost hire.  Can be used for a number of different purposes, including leisure, education and sport.

Community Car Schemes - An organised form of lift giving, where volunteers use their own cars to provide door-to-door journeys for people without transport.  Passengers are charged a rate per mile for their journeys to cover drivers' costs.

Wheels To Work - Providing a low cost moped to allow people over 16 to access work, training or education.
