D1 Focus Group 3

We are entering a new and important phase of CTA’s campaign for driver licensing changes.

We want your help to safeguard the future of Community Transport through changes to D1, which will address the shortage of qualified minibus drivers.

Based on member feedback, policy analysis and discussions with government, CTA has identified several options, which we want to test with our members in a series of focus groups, drawing on your experiences, insights and perspectives.

We will be hosting three online sessions in January 2026. By joining us, you will shape our D1 campaign by having your say on:

• The approach and objectives of our campaign;
• The advantages and disadvantages of the options; and,
• Your preferred route to implementation.

Please book onto one date only. Each focus group will cover similar topics and discussions, so you won’t miss anything by choosing one session.

All CTA members are welcome, whether you’re a primary purpose operator, a secondary purpose operator, a school or a local authority.

Spaces are very limited to enable a meaningful conversation, so please register early to secure your place, and please let us know if you can no longer attend.
