Community transport is the term given to passenger transport schemes that are outside the usual travel options. These schemes help people who are rurally isolated or unable to access conventional public transport.
Essex community transport schemes offer a wide range of transport services, including social car, dial a ride and group travel. They are usually run by people working together to solve their own transport needs and are mostly dependent on voluntary help.
