Upper Yarra Flexible Transport Trial

Trying a new way to connect the people and communities of the Upper Yarra.

#localshelpinglocals

The Upper Yarra is difficult for many to access transport with limited public transport options, so EV Community Transport is wanting to try something different with local volunteers supporting local people. We are looking for volunteer drivers and Upper Yarra residents to be a part of the trial from August to November 2023.

Upper Yarra Residents Needing Transport

Do you live in the Upper Yarra and need someone to drive you to and from your appointments; to the shops or just get out and about locally and be connected with your community?
