Community transport is not just about movement, it’s about access, inclusion & opportunity. Everyone deserves to reach work, school, healthcare and community life, no matter where they live. #ctweek25

It's #CommunityTransportWeek 🚐
Community transport is about people as much as it is vehicles. It supports independence, builds friendships and strengthens communities.
#CTWeek25 celebrates how when we help people move, we help communities thrive 👥
Blue textured background. Bold black text on yellow electrical tape reads "More than a minibus" and "We’re on board for CTWeek25! Celebrating Community Transport and its impact on our communities". Dynamic yellow arrows point to the text.
Disabled people built the first Dial-a-Ride services, fought for accessible buses and founded Transport for All.
That same spirit drives #CTWeek25 celebrating community transport as More Than a Minibus.
Access, independence, connection - non-negotiable then, now, and always!
Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins kicks off Community Transport Week which celebrates those who provide this essential service for people facing mobility challenges or lacking access to traditional transport.
