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.
The Community Transport Association (CTA) is a national charity and membership organisation that leads and supports thousands of local charities and community groups across the UK that deliver local transport services which fulfil a social purpose and community benefit. Together with CTA Members, we're working to achieve a vision of a world where everyone in their communities can access transport that meets their needs.
Community Transport Association has launched the Women in Community Transport UK Network, a nationwide group dedicated to addressing pivotal issues concerning women in the transport sector.
The UK and established London working group will actively contribute to the Women in Bus and Coach (WiBC) initiative and work together to challenge and eliminate barriers faced by women on a broader scale.
We are thrilled to announce the winners for this year's Community Transport Awards!
Our esteemed panel of judges had the incredibly difficult task of evaluating all the outstanding submissions and narrowing down our nominees to the very best of the best. Our judges wanted to thank everyone who submitted a nomination, and it was so inspiring to see so many stories of excellence from across the UK.
The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) is currently reviewing the Concessionary Fares Scheme, which provides free or discounted travel on public transport for older people and people with disabilities in Northern Ireland. The Scheme is funded by the Department and delivered by Translink, the main public transport operator in Northern Ireland. Through the Assisted Rural Transport Fund, SmartPasses can also be used on Rural Community Transport Partnerships Dial-a-lift journeys.
As we continue to celebrate CT Week, we want to increase public knowledge of community transport users. Essentially, community transport is about people and connecting communities.
