Transport
Community transport
Adapt (NE) has operated a successful community transport scheme since 1991. We currently have a fleet of three vehicles, all of which are fully wheelchair accessible.
Our community transport scheme was developed for use by people who are disadvantaged or isolated through disability or through living in a rural community.
Those eligible to access this scheme include:
- Disabled people
- Elderly people
- Single women or women who live alone
- Children and young adults
- People receiving certain benefits
- Those who are geographically isolated
