There are Community Transport operators in all seven Districts of the West Midlands. Community transport offers minibus/wheelchair accessible vehicles for hire to community groups in their area, such as scouts or brownies, youth clubs to senior citizens, disabled groups, and sheltered housing developments. Because Community Transport operators are non-profit making, charges for its services are usually much less than those offered by typical commercial providers. Most Community Transport projects have specially adapted minibuses to accommodate people with mobility difficulties including wheelchair users, and it is sometimes possible to provide groups with a volunteer driver.
