Kildare Town Residents To Benefit From New Free Community Car Service, With Plans To Expand Further

Initially, the Community Car service will operate within a 10 km radius of Kildare Town, with plans to expand to cover the entire county in the coming months.

A new Community Car service aimed at providing essential transportation for individuals facing mobility challenges has been launched in the wider Kildare Town area, with plans to launch county-wide.

Kildare Leader Partnership, in collaboration with GoCar, has launched the initiative.

The initiative comes in response to the difficulties many people, especially those living in rural areas or with reduced mobility, face when it comes to accessing healthcare, appointments, and social events.

Initially, the Community Car service will operate within a 10 km radius of Kildare Town, with plans to expand to cover the entire county in the coming months.

Residents can book a ride by calling a dedicated phone line at 0868183459.

The booking process is straightforward, with Vicky, the receptionist, on hand to arrange transport.

Volunteer drivers will provide a safe, door-to-door service, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience for users.
