Volunteer Car Schemes: Deep Dive Online Workshop (England)

Volunteer car schemes play a crucial yet often overlooked role in community transport. Despite their widespread presence, many operate under the radar due to informal structures and limited visibility. Our research takes a closer look at how these schemes function across England, with a particular focus on their long-term sustainability and potential for future development.

During the workshop, you'll be invited to share your views and experiences on:

•    How volunteer car schemes are currently operating, highlighting a range of delivery models

What the enhanced partnership review is and what it means for Community Transport

The Department for Transport (DfT) has published its review of Enhanced Partnerships (EP’s), sharing a detailed look at how they are working across England and where improvements are needed. CTA contributed directly to this process by responding to the survey and attending one of the national roundtable events. Our insights, alongside those shared by operators, local authorities and partners helped shape the finding and next steps set out in the review.
