Transport Opens Doors: Angela’s Journey

Community Transport plays a vital role in supporting Deaf and disabled passengers to make everyday journey. Through essential door-to-door services, community transport organisations help people stay connected and involved in their communities, reducing isolation and removing barriers to participation.


For many passengers, these journeys are about far more than transport alone. They provide independence, connection, and the opportunity to stay involved in community life.


Angela’s story is one example of the difference accessible transport can make.

Driving Communities Forward: Your Story Matters 🚐

A session for everyone where transport is part of what you do. Community Transport Week is here, and this year's theme, Driving Communities Forward, puts a spotlight on every person who keeps people connected, even when transport is just one part of what they do.  We know how vital drivers are. We also know the real challenges that come with recruiting and retaining drivers and driver licensing in Northern Ireland, and that those challenges fall on people who are already giving so much.
