Community Transport (Community Transport and Accessible Public Transport for People with Mobility Impairments)
The Public Transport Group provides accessible public transport services for local travel.
The services are intended to help people who by virtue of disability, frailty or ill health cannot use conventional bus services or have serious problems doing so. They are provided for individuals to help them live as independently as possible.
These services are provided mainly in partnership with voluntary sector providers and consist of social car schemes and community bus services. Other providers include commercial taxi operators and in house local authority fleets. They are run under service agreements with the County Council.
Social car schemes involve volunteers using their own cars to provide door to door transport. Community bus services use wheelchair accessible minibuses to provide travel from home to common destinations such as a town or shopping centres. Fares are charged for the services. Social car schemes are based on a contribution to the mileage costs of the volunteer driver and community bus services charge fares similar to local bus services. Leicestershire County Council's Concessionary Travel Scheme is available on these services.
