Northumberland has client groups with many different community transport needs across the county.

Group transport

• This is referred to as ‘Section 19 Minibus Permit Work’. 
• It can include a dial-a-ride service for registered users, but not to the general public. 

Local bus services

• This is referred to as ‘Section 22 Minibus Permit Work’. 
• Local buses run to a schedule and are open to any fare-paying passenger on a not-for-profit basis. 

Voluntary or community car schemes

• This includes volunteers providing transport in their own cars for eligible users. 
• Journeys are organised by a co-ordinator. The car owner receives a contribution towards the running costs.
