On The Go - Ar Y Ffordd
Community transport for disabled and older people in Carmarthenshire
Age Cymru Dyfed, in partnership with local community transport provider Dolen Teifi, is proud to provide On The Go – Ar Y Ffordd, a community transport scheme designed to improve mobility, independence, and wellbeing for people living with a disability across Carmarthenshire.
Thanks to funding from the Motability Foundation, the scheme will introduce 10 wheelchair-accessible vehicles across 10 community locations by 2026. These vehicles will provide safe, reliable transport not only for essential appointments, but also for social, recreational, and community activities – helping people stay connected and live fuller lives.
What the service offers
- wheelchair-accessible vehicles available across Carmarthenshire
- volunteer & family driver training, ensuring flexibility and local support
- transport for health appointments, shopping, social visits, community events, and more
- a focus on independence, wellbeing, and reducing isolation
- referrals to additional services where needed
- continuous improvement based on user feedback
Why it matters
