Dial a ride

SCA Transport provide the Dial a Ride service on behalf of Southampton City Council.

It is a dedicated transport service to help you if you are unable to use mainstream public transport. It is for people of all ages, living in Southampton. SCA Transport have specially adapted vehicles that can carry wheelchairs and seated passengers for journeys anywhere within the Southampton City boundaries.

During Covid times this service is still available and is being run with full PPE and social distancing measures in place.

We know this service makes a huge difference to people’s lives in normal times, enabling people to get out into their communities where they otherwise would not be able to. During lockdown and Shielding we know that trips out, whether for shopping, picking up prescriptions or simply catching up with friends (within the Government guidelines) are more important than ever.

All of our journeys are risk assessed in advance and you should have confidence that we will take care to understand your personal situation before we plan a journey with you.

Dial a Ride bookings can be taken between 9am and 4pm, Monday to Friday. Vehicle operating times are between 9.15am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.

An answering machine is available outside of normal office hours. 

“Dial a Ride has made it possible for me to visit my cousin and that has made us both happy. A big thank you.” (member comment)

We’re still here to help!

It’s vital that we continue to support vulnerable people in the community, many of who are at-risk or isolated in their homes at this difficult time. If you or your loved one needs any extra support at home, we are here. From personal care to shopping, or even picking up prescriptions, no task is too big or too small.
Contact us on 02380 366 663 to find out more today.

We’re still working and we want you to be too!

Because SCiA continues to support people in our communities to ensure they stay safe and well, we need people to help us achieve this. Have a look at our current job opportunities here https://jobs.sciagroup.co.uk/ or call 023 8051 6029.
