Epping Forest & Harlow Community Transport Epping Forest Community Transport is a registered charity providing transport for individuals, groups & schools across the Epping & Harlow District.

Epping Forest Community Transport started as an initiative of VAEF. It began operating as a transport provider in October 2001, with 1 minibus. It was established to provide accessible transport for those, who, for whatever reason, are unable to use conventional public transport. Epping Forest Community Transport, one of 13 Community Transport schemes in Essex, gained independence from Essex County Council in December 2014. The service is supported by Essex County Council and Epping Forest District Council. Epping Forest Community Transport provides transport for those who have no access to either private or public transport. It is a project that utilises volunteer drivers and their cars and volunteer mini-bus drivers to meet the needs of individuals in Epping Forest. This largely consists of the rurally isolated, whether older people unable to travel to make hospital appointments or school children isolated from normal bus services. The service is used by 2,500-3,000 people a month and consists of a fleet of eight mini-buses, seven of which are wheelchair accessible.

💙 A little act of kindness that made our day...
One of our volunteer drivers, Ian, stopped for lunch after completing his community transport duties. While there, he got chatting to a gentleman who had seen our minibus and asked about the work of Epping Forest Community Transport.
After hearing about the difference our volunteers make in helping local people stay connected, independent and active, the gentleman quietly left before Ian and paid for his lunch.
When Ian went to settle the bill, he was told it had already been paid.
Thank you to the kind stranger who recognised the value of community transport and the dedication of our amazing volunteers. Gestures like this remind us how much kindness exists in our communities.
