It is our mission to lead a thriving Community Transport movement in Scotland.
We now have more than 210 members delivering a diversity of transport projects and services, from community-owned buses and car clubs to Dial-a-Ride and active travel, which are at the very heart of urban, rural and island communities from Edinburgh to Na h-Eileanan an Iar. You can find them all on our Map of Community Transport in Scotland here.
Team Scotland is here to help you, our sector and our partners with advice, advocacy, consultancy, information, research, resources and support:
• David Kelly, Scotland Director and Head of Policy & Campaigns: david.kelly@ctauk.org
• Nicola Mitchell, Development Manager for Scotland: nicola.mitchell@ctauk.org
• Lara Henderson, Development Manager for Scotland: lara.henderson@ctauk.org
We enable regulatory and legislative compliance, promote innovation and best practice, provide grassroots development support and deliver high-quality training. We work on local, regional and devolved policy issues. We work in partnership with the Scottish Government, Transport Scotland, NHS Boards, regional transport partnerships and local authorities.
We build alliances and collaborations with those who share our values of accessibility, inclusion and sustainability and our belief that everyone in Scotland, no matter who they are or where they live, should have access to local transport which meets their needs.
