Operator Name: Rural Link Community Transport Rural Link exists to meet the transport needs of the local rural communities of Mid Tyrone. Our primary purpose is to provide reliable, affordable and above all, accessible transport for those who otherwise are unable to access mainstream public transport. This is either due to their location, because there is no public service provision in the area or because they cannot access transport due to their physical disabilities.
The provision of this transport is important for the access of vital services whether they are medical, educational, social or recreational and so enhance the quality of life for the individuals we serve.
We strive to target social need and to fight against social exclusion and the marginalised by ensuring that all individuals are equally empowered and enabled to access the services being provided regardless of age, disability, gender, race or religion.
We cater for individuals and voluntary/ community groups, those with learning and physical disabilities, senior citizens, parents with young children, youth and those with low income.
We provide a range of services to meet the needs of all members throughout the Omagh District Council area. Our staff strives to best meet the needs of all passengers by providing a door to door user friendly service.
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities for the local people, including volunteer driving for our Social Car Scheme or training to become a minibus driver or passenger assistant with Rural Link.
Rural Link is an affiliated member of the Community Transport Association (CTA). It is our policy to endeavour to meet their voluntary code of practice, and ensure that Rural Link offers a high quality, professionally operated service which focuses on driver and passenger safety. |
