About Us
Community transport is a not for profit transport provision, run by the community, for the community. Whether it’s a journey you make every day or a one-off trip, community transport can help to get you where you need to be. Community transport is a crucial element of the transport network in North Yorkshire. It’s important for helping people to get to work, access services and see friends and family.
Thousands of journeys are made each year by people from all ages and walks of life, who have a transport need. This includes going to college, seeing friends or visiting the shops. Many operators are also able to accommodate specific access requirements.
Go Local is an overarching brand for community transport in North Yorkshire. Jointly designed by community transport organisations and North Yorkshire Council, the aim of the brand is to help raise awareness of community transport, to change perceptions, and increase the usage of the service throughout North Yorkshire.
