In October 2007, SCT became the lead body for Community Transport in South Yorkshire, bringing together community transport operations in Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham as well as three smaller schemes in Sheffield.

The Mobility Management project promotes closer operational co-operation and aims to provide a more coherent offer to passengers across South Yorkshire, e.g. by standardising fares for the different services. All new vehicles and some of the existing ones have the same ‘Door-to-door’ livery as part of the Travel South Yorkshire brand.

SCT works with SYPTE to develop a package of transport related measures designed to assist the economic regeneration of the sub-region. One example of this is the South Yorkshire Wheels to Work project. Funding partners include Yorkshire Forward and Coalfields Regeneration Trust for employment opportunities where public transport doesn't exist at the right times or locations.

SCT is an approved centre for the new EU Driver Certificate of Professional Competence. The qualification is a requirement for all new and existing PCV drivers.

SCT also provides minibus training in the form of MiDAS (Minibus Drivers Awareness Scheme). This is a national scheme that has been in operation for over 10 years. It offers training on the laws regarding minibus driving for people who work in the voluntary sector, along with a driving assessment.

From 1 September 2019, Sheffield Community Transport will only be operating the H1 between the two Sheffield Hospitals.
