The CTA team had a brilliant time at this week’s Women in Bus and Coach (WiBC) Summit in Birmingham, celebrating women across the sector and discussing the workforce of tomorrow.

CTA’s Director for Wales, Gemma Lelliott, highlighted how visible leadership, flexible opportunities and working with pragmatism, curiosity and kindness can encourage more women into the workforce.

Her message: open up space for others, giving women at every level, including those in operational roles, opportunities to develop, be visible and have their voices heard.

CTA congratulates Laurie Robson from Community Transport, Newcastle, winner of the Best Woman in Community Transport Award!

The team also caught up with Lesley-Ann Millar from South Antrim Community Transport, nominated for the award by CTA’s Director for Northern Ireland, Frances Campbell. Lesley-Ann said:

“I don’t do my job for recognition at all, I do it because I love it, but CTA nominating me for this award has made me feel ‘seen’ and that means a lot.”

CTA thanks WiBC for bringing everyone together for an inspiring day.

Caroline Whitney, CTA Director for England was among those who welcomed The Princess of Wales as she experienced community transport first-hand.

From meeting passengers and volunteers of West Sussex Minibus to joining conversations about the difference community transport makes, the visit offered a brilliant opportunity to shine a light on the people and services at the heart of our sector.

As we look ahead to , it’s moments like this that remind us what community transport is all about.

We’re taking our D1 campaign to Parliament, and we want your MP to join us! Invite them using our letter template.

On Thursday 15 October, during Community Transport Week, CTA members and MPs will come together at the Palace of Westminster for our AGM and a special reception focused on our campaign to reform minibus driver licensing rules.

It provides an important opportunity to bring the challenges facing Community Transport directly to Parliament, raise awareness of the need for change and show the strength of support for our campaign.

If you haven’t already, use our ready-made templates to invite your MP to attend and learn more about the D1 licensing campaign. The more MPs who hear directly from Community Transport organisations in their constituencies, the more we can put forward the case for change.

(AD) Last month, our insurance partners Business Choice Direct and WRS Insurance Brokers joined us at the CTA Scotland Conference 2026.

It was great to see their involvement in the event, supporting our members and offering valuable advice and guidance around their insurance needs.

With community transport playing such an important role in connecting people and communities across Scotland, having access to the right support and expertise is vital.

A huge thank you to BCD and WRS for being part of the day, and to everyone who joined us to discuss this year’s theme of Fair Funding.
