Community transport schemes provide a responsive transport service for a wide range of people and communities – often the most vulnerable. They are operated by not-for-profit organisations and harness the experience and energy of volunteers who give freely of their time to help others. The transport services help meet local needs in areas where conventional commercial operations are not viable.

Northants ACRE has provided a Community Transport Directory for Northamptonshire. The directory lists all the providers in the county, the villages they serve, opening hours, contact details and costs.

Daventry Town Council, in partnership with Daventry Area Community Transport (DACT) has arranged and implemented Dial-a-Ride; our wonderful home-to-town bus service.

Available to all individuals aged 65+ in Daventry town, Dial-a-Ride runs every Friday morning to coincide with market day in Daventry. Picking individuals up from their homes and dropping them off in the heart of the town centre and then ensuring people are dropped off at home once your shopping is complete, Dial-a-Ride is a safe and convenient way to travel to and from the town.

What's more, it's free!

For more information and to book a seat call 01327 701665.

Please visit the Dial-a-Ride website for up to date information about their services.
