Community transport is a vital service for a lot of
people with limited mobility in North Somerset.
Most schemes offer a door-to-door service and a full range of
services are available:
- Dial-a-ride
- Shopping trips
- Medical appointments
- Day trips and outings
- Group hire
Community transport groups providing dial-a-ride journeys
typically operate fully accessible mini-buses, suitable for most
modern wheelchairs. Diamond Travelcard bus pass holders are
eligible for a discount on some dial-a-ride journeys.
More details are available on the
community transport operators page.
Each scheme operates on a membership basis and you are usually
eligible to join if you are elderly, disabled or find it difficult
to use public transport.
Getting About
Greater Bristol is also a useful website. It has a wide range
of travel information for disabled and less mobile people to help
you plan your journey.
We commission community transport and dial-a-ride services
across the district and we help voluntary organisations and
charities with funding to set up and continue their programmes.
Many of the local schemes are run by volunteers.
