The CTA is a rapidly growing national charity giving voice and providing leadership, learning and enterprise support to a wide range of organisations delivering innovative and flexible transport solutions to achieve social change in their communities. 

Whatever type of organisation you are: a charity; a voluntary or community group; a social enterprise; or a local authority - if you provide transport to your members or the public, then the CTA is here to help you. 

Our Vision is of “A fairer society free of social exclusion and injustice where everyone has personal choice, mobility and access to the services they require.”

The CTA works to achieve our Vision by:

>  Representing the views of voluntary and community transport in the UK to influence government at all levels, and build support and investment for the sector

>  Inspiring and empowering our members across the UK through leadership. Learning and enterprise and encouraging participation to bring about change

>  Working towards an integrated transport network which embraces accessible, community-based transport services to achieve a fairer society and sustainable communities
