The Community Transport Association (CTA) is a national charity that represents and supports providers of community transport: thousands of local charities and community groups across the UK that all provide transport services that fulfill a social purpose and community benefit.
We want to see communities everywhere creating and sharing their own accessible and inclusive transport solutions.
We are for and about accessible and inclusive transport. We achieve this through championing accessible and inclusive transport, connecting people and ideas, by strengthening our members and raising standards. Through all this our aim is to grow a thriving community transport movement across all parts of the UK.
Our Objectives and Activities
Championing CT: We want to see greater attention given to community transport and the everyday experiences of their users in policy-making. This involves showing how community transport is relevant and responsive to key areas of public policy and how our members improve quality of life for people and families in their local communities.
Connecting CT: We want to be at the heart of a vibrant network of people and organisations pursuing a social mission within the world of passenger transport.
Supporting CT: We want our members and other community organisations providing transport to work with us to promote high standards of practice and services being delivered in a safe, legal and caring way.
Growing CT: We will constantly be on the lookout for opportunities to extend the reach and impact of the community transport model and mobilise new investment to enable those
transformations.
Developing CTA: We want everything we do to be amazing all the time. We want people to have a high quality experience when they work with us, as members, stakeholders, staff or volunteers.
