There are a wide variety of alternative transport options available across Somerset. Ranging from community car schemes to accessible bus services, and often run by volunteers, these services are a vital service for those without access to conventional public transport.
Community Car Schemes
Community Car Schemes are voluntary schemes run by local groups. Volunteer drivers use their own cars to offer a taxi-style, door-to-door service for residents who do not have access to other transport. Learn more
Community Transport

Community Transport services are provided by a number of independent, non-profit making groups, companies, and organisations, all with the purpose of helping community members access essential services.
