From 14-18 October 2024, communities across the UK will celebrate CTWeek24, highlighting the vital work of the Community Transport sector. Inspired by our Manifesto, this year’s theme, Celebrating Community Solutions, spotlights the impact of accessible, inclusive, and affordable transport in strengthening community bonds.

Section 7 - A Summary of how Community Transport engages in Policy

It is more important than ever to engage with key stakeholders and get involved in policy discussions. We’ve seen in the previous sections that while the Community Transport sector delivers a variety of vital services to a wide range of passengers, the sector does face considerable challenges. 

Section 6 - A Summary of the types of vehicles used to deliver Community Transport

Vehicles are vital to Community Transport, whether owned by the CTO or volunteers. Most CTO vehicles are minibuses, but there are many other types of vehicles within the sector.  

Section 5 - A Summary of the trips and journeys undertaken by Community Transport

Just as CTOs provide many different types of services, so the number of number and character of trips are determined by the type and size of the organisation, the passengers being taken and the environment that the CTO is operating in. Respondents were asked to provide top-line figures for their monthly operations.

Section 4 - A Summary of the Services Delivered by Community Transport

Community Transport services emerge to fill a gap in existing transport provision. Whether it is because there are potential passengers with needs that cannot be served by existing transport, or because of gaps in the transport network that leave passengers without a public transport alternative, Community Transport services are designed to meet the needs of a specific set of passengers.
