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.

Community Transport is all about addressing the unmet transport needs of all of the diverse communities in every part of our country.

We’ve been working in partnership with our friends at the Mental Health Foundation (MHF) and Maryhill Integration Network (MIN) to better understand and improve the experiences of refugees and people seeking asylum of Scotland’s transport system.

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.

Community transport services in the UK encompass a diverse range of vital transport options, playing a crucial role in enhancing mobility and inclusivity within the wider transport network.

These services utilise various vehicles, ranging from minibuses to mopeds, and include a variety of essential offerings such as voluntary car schemes, community bus services, school transport, hospital transport, dial-a-ride, wheels-to-work, and group hire services.
