We were delighted to host the first Community Building Session of 2025 earlier this week which offered CTA members an opportunity to influence a brand new research project.
Students from Manchester University are focusing on 'Perceptions of Community Transport' in a new study and joined the online session to learn from CTA members' experiences, challenges and insights.
The session covered:
CTA is delighted to extend our team and are now recruiting a Research and Policy Officer.
The Research and Policy Officer will play a key role in delivering a funded research project focused on exploring the unmet transport needs of disabled children and how community transport can improve travel experiences for children and young people with disabilities. Please see the recruitment pack for more information and how to apply.
Succession Planning is vital to ensure that your organisation continue to thrive and that the skills and knowledge that you have built up is not lost.
In this Community Building Session we will hear from 3 CTA members on why they believe succession planning is important and how they are going about ensuring that such plans are put in place.
We will also be launching our own toolkit to support our members through this journey. This toolkit was produced by CTA but with input from those in our sector who are thinking of leaving or who have recently left.
We are looking for two wheelchair users to participate in the recording of MiDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) Accessible Technical Videos.
As a Business Development Manager, your role at CTA involves increasing the uptake of MiDAS training and growing CTA membership. To do this you will need to develop an in-depth knowledge of the Community Transport sector, be able to conduct your own research, develop relationships with our key stakeholders, and track performance metrics.
