Community Transport


Community Transport schemes offer pre-booked, door-to-door transport to help people get to local services, visit friends and enjoy leisure activities. Community Transport is for people who cannot use conventional public transport services, either because they are unable to do so or because there are no services available. It is mainly operated by volunteer drivers using their own cars. Passengers pay a contribution towards the cost of the journey based on local bus fares. The schemes are funded by Herefordshire Council, charitable trusts, passenger fares fundraising and donations.
Community Transport cannot:
  • guarantee a journey if a driver cannot be found
  • pick up casual passengers - journey must be booked in advance
  • promise regular journeys to school or work
  • offer holiday transport to regional airports
  • provide transport which are already covered by Social Services, Education or Health Authority
