You cannot fail to have noticed the growing buzz around Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) in the UK. The number of politicians, journalists and investors talking up the new technology is only increasing, while firms and transport authorities are launching new tests and trials with great fanfare.
Community Transport operators across Scotland tell us that they are struggling to keep up with rising costs – equipment, fuel, labour, insurance and vehicles are all more expensive than ever.
We’re delighted to introduce our two newest Trustees, Sally Lloyd Davies and Barry Armstrong.
Connect and Learn – small changes means, life changing impact.
Community Transport Association were delighted to launch our new Connect and Learn sessions (previously known as Community Building Sessions) for members, with our first session on supporting people living with dementia to travel well.
The aim of these sessions is to bring together our members, the CTA team and wider partners to look at and discuss topics that are important to the way we operate, the way we support passengers and the way we enable each other to learn and share.
We are looking for a Policy and Campaigns Officer to join the Community Transport Association (CTA).
This is an exciting new role, created to strengthen CTA’s voice as a credible, effective and influential advocate for community transport across the UK. Working closely with our Head of Policy & Campaigns and colleagues across the organisation, you will help develop policy positions, produce clear and authoritative briefings, coordinate campaign activity and build relationships that help influence change.
After careful deliberation from our wonderful panel of judges, we're proud to announce the shortlist for the CT26 Awards Night - a celebration of the extraordinary people, organisations, and partnerships keeping communities connected across the UK.
