Access11 Best Rural Community Transport Organisation
Community transport provides a wide range of access, mobility and travel solutions to rurally isolated individuals and communities across the UK. We want to hear about the best rural community transport organisations in the country and how they deliver innovative services to meet the needs of rural people. Judges will be looking for nominations that include innovation of service delivery in a rural context or that demonstrate exceptional impact.

Mobility is one of the central pillars of social development and our aim is to preserve this for future generations by making the transportation of passengers as accessible, safe, sustainable and enjoyable as possible.
