If driving or use of a car is not possible due to restricted mobility, a medical condition, neurodiversity or disability, the new Hubs Mobility Advice Service ( HMAS ) is offering free impartial advice on accessible travel options including buses, coaches, rail, air travel and community transport.
Supported by the Department for Transport , HMAS is a free information and guidance service on the best accessible travel options for disabled people and individuals who may be considering retiring from driving.
It is provided online through a national website and at 15 Driving Mobility centres. Each centre has dedicated HMAS experts who will assist with inclusive transport queries if driving has always been, or is no longer a viable option.
Services vary slightly between centres but all provide free detailed advice on:
- Accessible buses and coaches
- Easy access rail and air travel
- Community transport
- Rights as a disabled passenger
- Hiring or purchasing the right mobility scooter or wheelchair
- Planning for local, national, and international travel with a disability
- The most up-to-date local accessible transport guidance, by county, is available on the HMAS website or by contacting a local service. Team members provide friendly telephone, email, or face-to-face support, either at their respective Driving Mobility Centre or by visiting individuals in their home.
