Community Transport Consortium

The Shropshire Community Based Transport Consortium was formed in November 2004 as a medium for Community Transport Operators to share information, discuss pertinent issues affecting them and their service users and to allow them to collectively promote Community Transport in Shropshire. 

In 2008 the Consortium agreed to become a Forum on Interest of the Voluntary and Community Sector Assembly (VCSA).

The Consortium meets approximately every 2 months and is attended by a wide range of Community Transport Operators, Voluntary Organisations and other interested parties from across Shropshire.

The Consortium discusses and takes action on many different issues such as community transport funding, regulation issues, joint working initiatives and the promotion of Community Transport services.

The Consortium has enjoyed many successes over the years - it was instrumental in setting up the A to B website and recently successfully negotiated significant changes to the Community Transport funding formula with Shropshire Council.

The Consortium aims to be inclusive and welcomes anyone with an interest or involvement in Community Transport of any sort.  Anyone interested in joining or attending a meeting should contact the Chairperson, Linda Cox on 07891094901 or email linda@communitybasedtransport.co.uk.
