Services provided by Community & Voluntary Transport:
CAR SCHEMES These offer a service for essential journeys when public transport is not an option. Journeys can be for a variety of reasons including medical appointments, shopping trips and links to other transport. Transport providers usually need 48 hours notice of a journey in order to match a vehicle and driver. Drivers may act as escorts. Fares are based on mileage covered and some organisations may operate a membership scheme.
DIAL-A-RIDES This service offers a minibus (often with a passenger lift) when public transport is not an option. Usually they operate on local journeys and are booked in advance. Fares are either based on mileage covered or there is a set rate for a particular journey. Users of Dial-A-Ride have to be members of the scheme.
COMMUNITY MINIBUSES These are registered local bus services and serve areas not covered by commercial bus operators. They run to a timetable. There are set fares for each journey covered. Some volunteer providers also hire the minibus to local groups provided the driver is MiDAS trained.
GROUP HIRE These schemes have wheelchair accessible minibuses available for hire to all kinds of local community groups. Drivers must be MiDAS trained although some schemes may sometimes supply drivers or arrange training.
SHOPMOBILITY Shopmobility is a scheme that lends manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and powered scooters to members of the public with limited mobility, to shop and to visit leisure and commercial facilities within a town, city or shopping centre.
COUNTYCONNECT CountyConnect is a new demand response system run by Northamptonshire County Council that focuses on 5 separate areas in the county and centres around hub towns, where passengers can connect to regular inter-urban buses. Customers book a seat either by telephone, text message or via the internet and arrange to be picked up at a specific time at their nearest bus stop. The buses are specially designed low-floor minibuses and can be booked for any type of journey to any other stop in the area served. This service was launched in September 2011 across the following areas: Nene Valley, focused on Oundle, Thrapston and Raunds Welland Valley, focused on Market Harborough Long Buckby and Daventry South Northants, focused on Towcester and Brackley, including off-peak links to Banbury
