Our Other Services

In addition to Out and About:

• Various local governments and community groups use our drivers to help deliver their community transport services. These arrangements form our Contracted Services.
• We undertake Advocacy to government, business and the community for long-term solutions to improve transport provision for people and communities, including Projects such as Hume Transport Links (HTL) and the Craigieburn Community Transport Service. We focus on ways that community transport can work together with public and private transport. We are active members and supporters of the Victorian Community Transport Association (VCTA).
• On weekends and during school holidays, our vehicles are available for loan to community groups through LINK Vehicle Hire. Our Coburg based training room facilities are also available for hire by others.
