Up for Yorkshire is seeking volunteer drivers to support its Community Transport Car Scheme, which helps vulnerable individuals and those without access to public transport.
Volunteers use their own vehicles to provide a vital door-to-door service, ensuring that those in need can travel safely and reliably.
Drivers receive reimbursement for all mileage, along with full training and ongoing support.
This project aims to explore the potential impact of devolved, locally controlled budgets on community transport (CT), particularly in the context of English devolution, franchising, and Enhanced Partnerships (EPs).
This project aims to examine the operation of community bus routes, focusing on understanding who is running these routes, the types of routes being operated, and the permits or licences being used.
This project aims to investigate and evaluate the range of delivery models used for volunteer car schemes across England, focusing on their sustainability and potential for future development.
This research project seeks to evaluate the impact of group hire services delivered by community transport organisations (CTOs) on the wider voluntary and community sector (VCS) and public sector. Group hire is the most popular service among responding organisations in the Mapping England and Mapping Scotland surveys, yet it remains an underappreciated source of income and impact.
This research project focuses on accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) within England's community transport sector by addressing key barriers, exploring innovative solutions, and providing actionable recommendations.
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.
CTA members based in England are invited to attend this online session.
An Introduction to Enhanced Partnerships and Franchising has been designed to give an insight into the inner workings of these unique collaborations are and how community transport providers can get involved.
Attendees will learn how to get involved with franchising and how it can open up new opportunities for growth, collaboration, and service expansion.
The Government has set out a new vision for a more joined up and locally led transport across England.
A new Integrated National Transport Strategy, the first in a quarter of a century - will set out a 'people first approach' to getting people around the country. Recognising that different passengers have different needs, and the quality of transport varies across the country, it will set out how Government can support local areas to make all forms of transport work together better.
