Community Transport: Recruitment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to Part One of the National Disability Strategy published 28 July 2021, what steps his Department has taken towards working with the Community Transport Association and other stakeholders to understand the difficulties associated with recruiting community transport drivers.
- Answer
-
The Government understands that community transport services are essential for many people’s independence, yet some organisations struggle to recruit drivers qualified to drive their vehicles.
My officials are engaging with stakeholders to better understand these challenges. £200,000 is paid annually by the Department to the Community Transport Association (CTA), supporting them to continue championing inclusive and accessible community transport across the country.
