Accessible Transport Advice Service
Our initial findings of organisations that may be able to help you…
BUT, you will need to contact them to check on availability, membership & costs, what areas they cover and whether they are suitable to your needs. Remember they should be there to serve you and not you to serve them. Remember your importance.
Please remember, taxis are a commercially run service so their cost will be more than any Community Transport.
