This leaflet is one of a series of documents from the ITS Assist Project. ITS Assist is a Department for Transport (DfT) initiative that aims to encourage and promote across the UK the use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) as tools to implement local transport policy objectives. The leaflet provides an introduction to community transport and discusses the role of ITS in this field. Community Transport is the provision of noncommercial passenger transport services and covers both statutory provision of services by local authorities and provision of voluntary services. This leaflet considers how technology can aid the provision of services by local authorities and the integration of local authority and voluntary services. The technology is known as Demand Responsive Transport Systems. (Author/publisher)
