Our recent fuel crisis impact survey gathered responses from 291 operators across England to understand how rising fuel prices are affecting community transport services. The results painted a concerning picture of a sector under severe and worsening pressure, with serious consequences looming for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities if fuel prices do not reduce soon.
The purpose of this event is to build knowledge of community transport, expand understanding of community transport and discover how best to engage with community transport. This forum would be useful to you if you want to learn more about community transport or work with your local community transport better.
Speakers for this session are to be announced at a later date, and there will be a Q&A at end of the presentations.
We are hosting an online meeting for operators in England to discuss the upcoming Community Transport Week (12th-16th October 2026). This years theme is: Driving Communities Forward. The session will provide a chance to share ideas, highlight resources that are available to you and to offer support to organisations planning events or visits with members of parliament.
Any Community Transport organisation or Local Authority within Suffolk and Norfolk is welcome to attend.

Volunteer car schemes play a crucial yet often overlooked role in community transport.

Our research takes a closer look at how these schemes function across England, with a particular focus on their long-term sustainability and potential for future development.
During the workshop, you'll be invited to share your views and experiences on:
