Community Transport Scheme
Adapt (North East) has operated a successful community transport scheme for many years and all vehicles are fully wheelchair accessible.
Our community transport scheme was developed for use by people who are disadvantaged or isolated through disability or through location in a rural community.
Those eligible to access this scheme under S19 regulations include:
- Disabled People
- Elderly People
- Single Women or women who live alone
- Children and Young adults
- People receiving certain benefits e.g. Income Support
- Those who are geographically isolated
We provide vehicles up to 16 passenger seats with or without a driver for community groups and members for outings such as educational visits, lunch clubs, shopping trips etc. We also deliver home to school contracts on behalf of Northumberland County Council.
The transport scheme is membership based and to access this service membership can be applied for at a cost of £2 for an individual, £10 for a community group and £20 for a voluntary funded group and £40 for a statutory body or private company.
