The Community Transport Association (CTA) in Scotland have launched a variety of Local Networks for Community Transport operators across Scotland, as part of our commitment to connect, support and grow the sector from the grassroots.
International Women’s Day is an opportunity to recognise the women who make community transport possible – often working quietly, but making a profound difference to people’s lives.
Across the UK, women keep services running: coordinating journeys, driving minibuses, supporting passengers, managing projects and leading organisations. Their work helps thousands of people stay independent, travel with confidence and remain connected to their communities.
Securing funding for a vehicle remains a significant challenge across the Community Transport sector – particularly when considering Electric Vehicles, where upfront costs can be higher.
CTA’s Vehicle Purchasing Guide for Community Transport is here to help organisations plan, buy, replace, or expand their vehicles with confidence.
Join us at the next in our series of Meet the Funder sessions, this time to hear from Firstport, the first port of call for social enterprises across Scotland.
Our 'Meet the Movement' events are where our sector's operators, supporters and partners come together face to face to make new connections, build closer relationships and be part of something bigger - Scotland's growing Community Transport movement!
We were really delighted to be joined by Dani and the team from the Motability Foundation for last week’s ‘Meet the Funder’ session.
I often say I talk to people for a living. I've always been involved with roles where I am talking on behalf of groups and organisations, with lots of presentations, lots of papers, building relationships and trying to grow a shared understanding that makes the world just a little bit better for all of us.
