Dial a Lift information session
Thursday 9th October in the Glenavon Hotel, Cookstown from 11.30am – 1pm.
The information session will provide you with details of the new Dial a Lift
services which are to be rolled out across N.Ireland during 2009. The Dial a
Lift services will provide transport for individuals living in our rural
communities who find it difficult or are unable to use our public transport.
Dial a Lift services will operate from 8am – 6pm seven days a week and will
combine a range of resources to ensure that passengers have flexible travel
options in rural communities.
Representative from the Department for Regional Development, Community
Transport Association and the Rural Community Transport Partnerships will answer
all your queries with regards membership criteria, operational issues and time
frames for the roll out of these services in 2009.
