Our Manifestos for the 2026 Scottish and Welsh Elections

‘Our Communities, Our Transport’: Our Movement’s Manifesto for the 2026 Scottish and Welsh Elections

Voters in Scotland and Wales go to the polls in May 2026 for devolved parliamentary elections.


We believe that everyone in Scotland and Wales should have access to local transport which meets their needs, no matter who they are or where they live.


We believe that the next Scottish Government and the next Welsh Government can make this happen by working with us to empower more communities to put local transport back into local hands.

How We Talk About Disability at CTA: A guide

At CTA, we’re committed to inclusion and equality for disabled people. Our research team has put this guide together using the social model of disability, which recognises that people are disabled not by their impairments or conditions, but by the barriers in society—whether physical, organisational, or to do with how people think and behave.

This model shapes the language we use. We aim to talk about disability in ways that are respectful, inclusive, and focused on removing barriers.
