Dundee Community Transport

Dundee Community Transport exists to provide affordable transport for bona fide voluntary and charitable organisations.

A sixteen seat wheelchair accessible vehicle is available on self drive basis which is charged per mile, with a minimum charge. The cost is fully inclusive of fuel, insurance, road tax etc, the only additional costs that the group will be liable for will be variable and local charges such as parking.

Drivers should hold a minimum of a D1 classification on their driving licence and also hold a current MiDAS (Minibus Drivers Awareness Scheme) Certificate. Dundee Community Transport can provide training up to the required MiDAS standard.

The vehicle is equipped with seatbelts for all ages; and for wheelchair users has the latest wheelchair and passenger restraint equipment.

The scheme is primarily a self drive scheme; and groups are encouraged to nominate a suitable person to go through the MiDAS training. The scheme does have a small pool of volunteer drivers who may be able to drive for other groups, however such a service cannot be guaranteed and any arrangement must be between the volunteer driver and the user group. The scheme is interested in expanding the number of volunteer drivers and if you are interested please get in contact.

For information on using the vehicle, MiDAS or any other related queries please phone 01382 221545 for more information.
