Running a Community Transport (CT) Organisation is rewarding, offering great chances to support communities and make an impact. We also know it can be isolated and challenging, especially when seeking advice or discussing issues and opportunities.
Our Advice & Support team run monthly Community Building sessions, holding virtual space to bring CT operators and CTA staff together once a month to discuss key topics for the sector.
On this page you can find our Advice Resources. These are in-depth document and guides which cover a wide range of topics relating to the operation of community transport. If you need more information, or if you can’t find the information you’re looking for, you can call CTA’s Advice Service on 0345 130 6195 or take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions page.
We have made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within the leaflets but it should be noted that they are only guides and should be treated as such.
The Community Transport Association provides the UK’s only specialist advice and support service to groups and organisations delivering community-led transport in the UK. We do this by directly providing support and information on a wide range of topics, such as permits and licencing regulations, driver training, and operations, and by connecting with and signposting to other relevant agencies.
