Community Transport Week celebrates the vital role that community transport plays across Essex and beyond. It shines a spotlight on the exceptional efforts of staff, volunteers, drivers, and coordinators, all of whom provide essential transportation for those facing mobility challenges or who lack access to traditional transport options.
Community Transport plays a vital role in Essex, providing door-to-door services primarily operated by volunteer drivers. It caters to individuals who cannot use conventional public transport due to age, disability, or geographical constraints. By offering affordable options, Community Transport ensures access to essential services, including health appointments, shopping, support groups, social outings, and visits to friends and family.
Volunteers are the backbone of these services, and their contribution extends far beyond transportation—they help build connections and foster a sense of community.
