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
