Rural Transport & Rural Isolation: A Case Study on the Impact of Rural Transport Provision on Older People in one Rural Area

Abstract

This case study is a very valuable contribution to the local needs and services for rural isolated people. Miriam McKenna is a committed leader. Miriam with the board of Flexibus and the support of the Rural Transport Initiative (RTI) has had a life enhancing impact on the lives of many people in Meath. The Flexibus staff and the community groups around Meath and South Cavan have a great deal to be proud of.
 This document is a way of recognising the impact of Flexibus and the many projects like it. What is so valuable in this document is the voice of the people who use the Flexibus service. Read this document and let the people who use the service speak to you through it. You will come to know them and when furnished you will feel that you have travelled with them.
