• APPG on Community Transport

What is the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Community Transport?

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Community Transport (APPG) is run by and for Members of the Commons and Lords, although interested individuals and organisations from outside Parliament are invited to meetings to add their perspective. The APPG conforms to rules concerning transparent funding and working in a cross-party manner.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Community Transport was established in March 2018, as a forum for parliamentarians to demonstrate and celebrate the value of community transport in Parliament and to learn about the experiences of community transport charities and their service-users in shaping public policy where improved accessibility and mobility would be of benefit.

Please note, this is not an official website of the House of Commons or the House of Lords. It has not been approved by either House or its committees. All-Party Parliamentary Groups are informal groups of Members of both Houses with a common interest in particular issues. The views expressed on this page are those of the group.
