The Community Transport Partners Network is a dedicated forum bringing together Local Infrastructure Organisations (LIOs) and local authorities to strengthen understanding, collaboration, and engagement with the community transport sector.
Meeting on a quarterly basis, the network provides a space to share knowledge, and explore opportunities to better support community transport providers and the communities they serve.
Community transport plays a vital role in enabling access to essential services, reducing isolation, and supporting inclusive local economies. However, navigating the legal and operational landscape can be complex. This network exists to ensure that LIOs and local government partners are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to provide accurate guidance and build effective relationships with the sector.
