Pinnacle Community Bus Trial – Now Continuing! 🚌
Following the success of our community bus trial, Pinnacle is pleased to announce that our scheduled stop transport service will continue to help provide a more seamless and accessible transport option for the community.
The Pinnacle community bus will continue making regular stops at key locations used by our clients. This means you can hop on without calling ahead or booking, as long as you are at the stop at the scheduled time.
How it works:
If you’ve finished shopping and it’s 10:45am, and the Pinnacle bus is scheduled to stop at Woolworths at 11:00am, simply take a seat and wait. Our friendly driver will arrive shortly and assist you home.
Accessibility:
Our community bus is designed to support people with different mobility needs. The bus is wheelchair and walker accessible, and includes a hydraulic lift to safely assist passengers who may have reduced mobility getting on and off the bus.
For those who may not be able to access the bus or require a different level of support, pre-bookings can also be made so that a Pinnacle transport car can be arranged if needed.
Who can use the service?
Pinnacle Transport is available to NDIS participants, aged care clients, and community members who may be disadvantaged due to not having a vehicle or access to friends and family to help them get around. Our goal is to support people to stay active, connected, and independent within the community.
Already a Pinnacle client?
Great news – there are no changes needed. You can continue to access this service as usual.
Not yet a client?
You are welcome to collect an intake form from our bus drivers or visit our office at 294 Hoskins Street. One of our transport coordinators will then be in touch to set you up in our system so you can jump on whenever needed.
Cost:
• $7 return trip within town limits (may depend on funding if claiming through a package)
• $3 for any additional stops
This service is designed to make transport simple, flexible, and accessible, helping more people in our community get where they need to go.
We look forward to continuing to support our community with safe, friendly, and accessible transport services. 🚐
