COMMUNITY TRANSPORT

Early day motion 720, tabled 20 December 2017 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 26 members.

That this House has considered the important role that Community Transport Organisations (CTOs) play in towns across the UK; notes that community transport schemes help social inclusion; recognises that these schemes are primarily used by people who otherwise would not be able to travel; notes the increasing cost pressures on community transport schemes in recent years; further notes the increasing pressure on CTOs to run bus services where commercial public transport providers do not; and therefore urges the Government to limit regulation and resulting cost increases to ensure CTOs can stay in operation.
