WHAT IS A DIAL-A-RIDE service or a voluntary car scheme and am I eligible? If
you've ever thought this then help is at hand. Cambridgeshire County
Council has just published their indispensable Community Transport Guide for
2006 / 2007. And it's completely FREE.
The guide explains exactly what community transport is and who can use it; how it works alongside conventional public transport; and lists by district details of all community transport schemes operating throughout Cambridgeshire. Laid out in an accessible reference format the guide is easy to read and understand. Three sections provide clear and concise information.
The first section describes the various types of community transport schemes throughout Cambridgeshire. Covering how they meet the needs of the communities they serve, how they operate and who can use such schemes. The section also has useful information on other modes of transport throughout Cambridgeshire. For example how to get information on bus and rail services and how to obtain a bus pass. It also has a full explanation of the concessionary fare scheme.
The second section lists schemes by district and the type of scheme available. The third and final section lists details of other agencies involved in community transport. It also provides advice on transport for those with mobility difficulties.
A community transport scheme may serve your area and you may be eligible to use it. For instance it can be used to transport you to a medical appointment, or to the nearest post office or shop. The Community Transport Guide 2006 / 2007 is designed to provide you with information in an easy way.
