Rural and Community Transport

Community Transport is the provision of non-profit making transport for members of the community who do not have suitable conventional public transport services available for their travel needs. This is a problem experienced by some rural parishes within the County, but it is also because some residents find that they are physically unable to use the bus service on offer.

Community Transport tackles this problem by involving local people in the identification of transport needs within their community, and devising solutions. Devon County Council actively promotes this process by forming partnerships to organize, develop and run these alternative transport schemes to best serve the community needs.
