News on Somerset Sustainable Transport

Planning a journey in Somerset?

A new one-stop travel information website has been launched by Somerset County Council to support more local people to access public and community transport.

If you do not own a car - or you want to leave it at home and travel more sustainably, Think Travel can help you with your transport options. Whether it is getting to the doctors, shops, travelling to work, college, or school, or just into town to meet friends or family, the new travel planner shows you what is available. It covers public transport, community transport, the Slinky demand responsive transport service and car sharing.

To start your search, all you need to do is enter your journey start point and destination in the planner and Think Travel will find the available options for you.

As well as information on train and bus services, there is also a dedicated car sharing notice board you can sign up to, where offers or requests for car sharing journeys can be posted.

There is also more information on the various transport services, public transport disruption news and a mapping tool to see what transport services are operating in your area.

The aim is to grow this facility and encourage local car sharing networks to evolve.
