The Rural Community Council for Kent and Medway
Rural Transport
Transport and access to services is a key issue for many individuals and communities in rural Kent. One way in which communities can begin to help themselves is to establish a community transport scheme to supplement existing public transport. These schemes take a number of forms, are non-profit making and designed to meet the needs of those who cannot access public transport, who need a tailor made service or who simply live in an isolated community far from existing public transport routes.
If you are a community group or a Parish or Town Council we can assist you in selecting the most appropriate type of scheme for your needs, help you build the necessary partnerships and advise on sources of funding that will allow the development of a project.
Examples of community transport schemes include:
- Volunteer car schemes
- Community minibus schemes
- Taxi buses
- Wheels to Work schemes

Some community bus schemes operate a Dial-a-Ride service. There is also a dial-a-ride network supported by Kent County Council which operates in most of the county as the Kent Karrier scheme.
