Community Transport Scheme

  • Affordable travel (45p/mile + £3 Booking Fee per journey) - Minimum of 20 miles per trip.

We have volunteer drivers right across the county to help you get around Cornwall, all of our drivers have continuous training and enhanced DBS checks. Anyone can use the service just give us a call on 01872 265 300 or click here to book.

We are currently only accepting journeys with at least 10 days notice, with the exception of emergency hospital appointments.  Our team of transport coordinators will match you with a volunteer driver and will arrange for them to pick you up in good time. Journeys cost 45p per mile travelled by the volunteer driver, plus a £3 booking fee per journey.
