Community Transport in Inverness
Our transport service provides reliable, door to door, non-emergency transport to anyone in Inverness who finds it difficult to access community health and social care facilities. The service was started by the NHS and now operates under Partnerships for Wellbeing which started as a charity in 2004.
Many people struggle to get to their health and social care appointments for a variety of reasons:
Access to public transport is limited
It might be physically difficult to get on and off buses or walk to a bus stop
Family and/or neighbours may not always be available to provide lifts
Our transport service provides a value for money way to help you get to health and social care appointments across Inverness between 9.00am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday each week.
All of our drivers are locally recruited volunteers - they drive our own two easy access vehicles or the minibus we use on two days each week. Some of our volunteers use their own vehicles.
Fares are a flat rate:
Single journey = £5
Return journey = £8
The income generated from the fares is fully reinvested in the service to help cover costs. In addition to fare income we also need to find funding from other sources to help us develop and maintain the service - we are extremely grateful to our funders past and present who have supported us since 2004 when the charity started.
In particular, we would like to thank NHS Highland and the Highland Council for their contributions, without which the service would not operate as well as it does.
The easiest way to request transport is to call the Transport office to speak to Fiona or Linda
