Like so many other areas of society, coronavirus has caused a huge shift in the way that community transport is operating at the moment. Since lock-down began, we’ve been surveying over 200 CTA members to get a clear picture of the changes that have taken place across the sector.

With more and more organisations operating as social enterprises, we hear from Charlie Wigglesworth, Deputy CEO at Social Enterprise UK, who talks about what it means to be a social enterprise and how it fits in with the work of community transport. This article was originally published in the Spring 2019 issue of Together, CTA’s quarterly membership journal.

In November 2017, the Transport Select Committee launched an inquiry into Mobility as a Service (MaaS): digital platforms that enable users to plan, book and pay for travel through a single transaction and through a single app. The Committee’s inquiry aimed to better understand the current evidence base on MaaS and to assess how to overcome barriers to implementation and concerns about digital and social exclusion, as well as the role of government in supporting its development.
