Advice & Information
The CTA is dedicated to educate, inform and promote the role of community and voluntary transport for enabling social inclusion and access.
The CTA's Advice and Information service covers the UK and is supported by national governments. We are the only organisation in the UK that provides an advice and information service on community transport issues.
The CTA Advice Team number is 0845 130 6195 or you can email us at advice@ctauk.org.
This resource provides free advice leaflets, good practice guides and information packs for the voluntary sector and local authorites. You will be required to register or log in to access this information, but will only have to do this once to download multiple leaflets.
This resource provides authoritative expert information on the complex problems faced by the voluntary sector and local authorities and will be updated as soon as there are any changes in the law plus we will email all subscribers to let them know about the changes.
Are you facing a community transport problem? Perhaps you are assessing the implications of recent legislation or considering the specifications of a new vehicle. Whatever your community transport poser, Problem Solvers can help.
