Community transport provides journeys for people who have difficulty using conventional public transport.

The majority of the community transport schemes are restricted to individuals meeting the following criteria:

those who do not have access to public transport and do not have access to their own car
those who experience difficulty using public transport ie because of a disability or age
those who are socially or rurally isolated from accessing basic public services and facilities (such as healthcare)
