Who it is for?
Anyone for whom there is no public transport service available or unable to use public transport for essential journeys.
Where it is available?
Local service (North Dorset).
What it costs:
The passenger makes a contribution between 25p and 35p per mile based upon the mileage travelled (which cannot be more than 50 miles for a round trip) and receives a receipt from the driver. The additional costs are subsidised by Dorset County Council.
How to access or apply for it:
Anyone eligible to use this service should telephone Ms Gill Philip on 01258 860975 or email gillphilip321@hotmail.com to register and give details of the transport required. Twenty-four hours notice is essential except in emergencies.
