Being able to get out and about is a vital way for people to engage with their community and access local services. Local bus services are a lifeline for many who do not drive or have access to a car.

TFI Local Link encourages social enterprise, because we know that community transport can be operated and managed more efficiently and cost-effectively at a local level.
