Transport assistance for essential journeys and FREE Collection & Delivery Service

Posted 23.1.2021

Our Disability Action Transport Scheme (DATS) team recognises the impact that the COVID-19 restrictions are having on many people, and that's why we are offering transport assistance for permitted shopping, health reasons, work or exercise and a FREE Collection & Delivery service to members and non-members.

All of our vehicles are fully accessible and will allow you to travel within your local town. Restrictions apply in line with NI Executive COVID-19 guidance.

If you need to use our service, call our office on 028 9029 7870 between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday.
