Delighted to have @ellieharrison & @pinar_aksu5 at #CTAScotland2024 to talk about their brilliant campaigns for bus franchising & #FreeBusTravel for people seeking asylum. It's time for a transport system which delivers for everyone! @GetGlesgaMoving @Maryhill_IN

#CTWeek25 kicked off early in Scotland with a special reception at @ScotParl! 🚐 Our Director for Scotland @kellyjamesdavid shares how far the movement has come and how we’re getting #CommunityTransport higher up the agenda: https://t.co/IKG7JWhasY

Fantastic visit to the Madoch Centre this morning to chat to and see the fabulous team who are volunteering and the folk who use this amazing community service. This is the Scottish Government Plugged in Community fund in action. Brilliant to see 👏

During #CommunityTransportWeek @JimFairlieLogie visited the Madoch Centre in #Perth, where the @scotgov #PluggedInCommunitiesFund provided electric vehicles to get people to and from the centre and other important appointments. #CTWeek25 @CTAUK1

“Community Transport delivers benefits far beyond moving people from A to B.” – @JimFairlieLogie MSP Scotland’s Minister for Agriculture and Connectivity shares his message for #CTWeek25 — celebrating the people who keep communities connected. #MoreThanAMinibus

It was great to host the @CTAUK1 event in parliament tonight talking about the vital work their members do. Thanks to my mate @JimFairlieLogie for speaking too.

It was an absolute pleasure to address this fabulous group of folk working to keep connecting communities right across Scotland, and I applaud every one of them. That’s why we pushed to get £4m into our plugged In Communities programme to give them the tools they need.

We were delighted to celebrate Scotland’s Community Transport movement at @ScotParl last night ahead of #CTWeek25 Fantastic to be joined by @JimFairlieLogie, @GrahamSMSP & @MaggieChapman, plus members from across Scotland @transcotland #MoreThanAMinibus

When newly-elected Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson started converting car lanes to bike lanes in 2009, pundits claimed it was political suicide. In 2018, he stepped down after three terms as the longest-serving mayor in history. So what can this tale teach us about "bikelash"?🧵

Thanks Eddie and every one of your colleagues, working hard through the night so Glaswegians can wake up to a cleaner city. If fewer folk dropped litter in the first place, they’d be able to do even more good work. Please do your bit to help Eddie and Glasgow: use the bin! 🚮

That’s a wrap on #HealthyCommunitiesScotland! 🚐🚗 A day full of powerful stories, fresh ideas and collaboration - showing how #CommunityTransport is a force for good and for change. Thank you to all our speakers, partners and members for making it such a brilliant day! 👏

Bad news for cities. 🚨 Cars are parked 95% of the time, eating up valuable street space. Now, new research from Lisbon shows parked cars are also intensifying urban heat: by as much as +3.8°C. 🌡️ 🧵

Extreme weather is the UK's new normal, says Met Office

Our Head of Policy & Campaigns, David Kelly was featured on @BBCRadioScot Drivetime yesterday, supporting the campaign for free bus travel in Scotland 🚌 Listen to the full segment here (from 1:36:00): https://t.co/g3z4ky9N5A #AccessibleTransport #CommunityTransport @sccscot

Yesterday on @BBCScotland David Kelly @CTAUK1 made the strong case in support of free bus travel in Scotland, based on the health, economic, social and environmental benefits 🚌 Listen from 1:36:00

It is 39°C in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39°C. Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12°C cooler. Given trees take decades to mature and many don’t survive, cities need to plant many more. And urgently.

Our Scotland team was shortlisted for Excellence in Transport Accessibility at the #ScottishTransportAwards 2025! It was also a great night for CTA members: 🚐Glenfarg Community Transport - Best Bus shortlist 🚐Badenoch & Strathspey Community ConnXions - Highly Commended

NEW RESEARCH: new car bonnets are trending higher every year and drivers of high fronted cars unable to see children as old as nine 😱🚙🚸❗ #Carspreading is out of control. What’s the latest? 🧵1/9

A big thank you to CEIS for their fantastic 40th anniversary event at the Scottish Parliament on Thursday 19th of March. It was lovely to meet so many interesting people, including the First Minister, John Swinney and David Kelly, CTA Director for Scotland. Well done to all!
