Public transport in Highland

Community Transport

Community transport refers to a range of transportation services that are provided by or for local communities, typically in areas where regular public transport options are limited.

It aims to address the transportation needs of people who may face difficulties accessing conventional public transport, such as:

  • the elderly
  • disabled individuals
  • those with low income
  • people living in rural or remote areas

The primary goal is to improve social inclusion, access to essential services, and ensure that individuals who may face transportation barriers can still participate in community life and maintain their independence.

Initiatives and projects led by Community Transport groups within in the Highlands give communities direct involvement in solutions which meet their transport needs.

Our Transport Co-Ordination Unit team looks to encourage and support these initiatives with the Community Transport grant fund. Invitations are currently closed.
