Community Car Scheme
Using
the Scheme
To
use the scheme, call the telephonist in your area. You will be
asked a few questions about your transport needs and then registed
as a passenger.
Try
to phone between 0900 and 1700 Monday to Friday unless it is to
rearrange or cancel a journey. If you can, please give us as much
notice as possible.
Remember,
you can make as many journeys as you like but, as we rely on volunteer
drivers it is not always possible to provide a service, especially
at weekends when there are fewer drivers available.
Contacts
There are local contacts in most areas. (These will be
published here soon.)
You
can contact Benny MacDonald, the Car Scheme Coordinator, at the
LCCF office on:

Costs
The cost of a journey from January 1st 2002 is 20p per mile while
the passenger is in the car. For short trips there is a minimum
charge of 50p and the maximum for any journey is 5.00. This remains
the same for one or more passengers so costs can be shared. Drivers
receive expenses for the whole journey so it is not necessary
to give donations to the car scheme.

Scheme Leaflet
