CTA Cymru Conference 2025

Thriving, not just surviving! The Community Transport sector in Wales continues to grow and innovate to meet the demand for inclusive and accessible community-led transport solutions that meet people’s needs.

We’re delighted to be holding our annual Wales Conference on Wednesday 21st May at Venue Cymru in Llandudno from 10.30 am until 3.30 pm (registration and refreshments available at 10 am). Join us to hear insights from Professor Charles Musselwhite (Aberystwyth University) on the role of Community Transport in creating vibrant communities, Sion Wyn Evans on work of the Office of the Older People’s Commissioner to identify transport challenges and priorities in Wales, and Lee Robinson (Transport for Wales) on the future of public transport and potential opportunities for Community Transport.

Operators and stakeholders will share ideas and good practice around: citizen research in identifying local transport needs; partnership working between community organisations and local authorities; transport for health; and the use of e-bikes to extend community transport provision. Motability will share insights from their Community Transport Grant Programme and upcoming grants.

Above all it will be an enjoyable and informative day with opportunities to connect, to meet the Wales team and CTA’s Chief Executive, and to and share experiences and expertise. The event is free to attend and lunch and refreshments are provided. We look forward to seeing you!
