Join us for an online session with CTA’s insurance partners, where you can ask questions and learn more about the insurance cover and support available to community transport organisations.
The session will open with a short introduction from Victoria, our CEO, who will explain why these insurance partnerships are important for the community transport sector.
Every year, Community Transport Week allows us to pause for a moment and celebrate the sector, and everyone involved in it! This year’s theme,“More than a Minibus,” captures something vital: community transport is about people as much as it is about vehicles. It isn’t just about getting from A to B, it’s all the in-between moments that make the journey special, and memorable for passengers. For that to happen, journeys must be safe, legal and comfortable. That’s where MiDAS comes in.
When it comes to transporting passengers, MiDAS is the gold standard for ensuring that drivers and passenger assistants can deliver safe, legal and comfortable journeys. Under the MiDAS umbrella, there are a number of schemes, ensuring that there is a nationally recognised standard for those with driving, care or supervision responsibilities.

Community Transport Association and Hampshire County Council are delighted to welcome you for a day of insightful panel talks, presentations, and the all important awards ceremony, and to check out the exhibition stands, network and explore the vehicles we have on site.
On this page you will find today's agenda, information about our fantastic event sponsors, awards categories and more.
Through our training, workshops and webinars we help our members enhance their skills and knowledge on transport services, regulatory frameworks, safety and customer service.

It also allows you to deliver MiDAS to other organisations in your area. You can find out more about the steps involved with becoming a MiDAS Driver Assessor below.
