Abstract

Local and Community Transport Programs. The purpose of community transport is to meet the needs of specific transport disadvantaged groups in the community including isolated families, the frail aged, younger people with disabilities, and their carers. Community transport has given many transport disadvantaged people access to recreation, shopping, education, medical care, social services and social contact, where conventional public transport systems are not generally considered viable or appropriate.
