Become a community transport volunteer

Published on: 11 March 2026

Community transport organisations in South Yorkshire are looking to recruit more volunteer drivers and passenger assistants.

As a volunteer driver you will become part of a team that provides essential services to people who have difficulty using or are unable to use public transport.

Why should you volunteer?
