Rural Transport
For many of our residents living in rural areas accessing the services they need can be a challenge, particularly in communities where access to public transport may be limited and walking and cycling are not a realistic option. Cornwall Council are working with communities and partners to explore new ways of increasing transport choice in rural areas.
In partnership with Mobilityways, Cornwall Rural Community Charity, Penwith Community Area Partnership and local stakeholders we are undertaking the trial of a Car Share community for the West Penwith area. The project looks to increase transport options in some of our most rural communities. The trial will initially run for a period of 12 months.
