Connecting Community Transport in England
CTA is committed to providing leadership and acting as a unified voice for our members. To do that CTA is prioritising the work we do in England through consultation and engagement with our members and wider stakeholders. We run all our policy and research activities through our conneCTing England Programme.
The CTA conneCTing programme aims to bring together community transport (CT) within England to work collectively and collaboratively with partners on the topics and issues that are important to them.
As part of the conneCTing programme, action-led forums have been established to offer a platform for local operators to express their opinions at the national level to entities like the central government and NHS England. Furthermore, it is crucial for local forums to receive input from regional and national bodies to be assured that their feedback is making an impact.
The CTA has introduced 11 regional forums that play a central role in the conneCTing programme. These forums are not just a platform for exchanging ideas or holding debates but will also have a set of region-specific action items that they will focus on to establish and maintain connectivity in their respective areas. The CTA will oversee this work and prioritise the most important actions. Additionally, we will disseminate the knowledge and insights gained through this process across England.
Certain topics hold significance for all regions, and these issues will be tackled by the England Forum. This group will comprise representatives from each of the regional forums and will collaborate at the national level to address significant challenges impacting the sector.
