With the disapperance of bus subsidies from the county council, communities are investigating alternatives. Oxfordshire County Council Comet Bus has been very successful.

The Community Transport Association  is a charity which exists to support its members and to act as the lead UK body for voluntary and community transport. In developing local solutions to national concerns, operators of community transport can respond to both individual and collective needs and drive forward social regeneration in their communities.

If you operate a minibus, a volunteer car scheme, a shopmobility project or a wheels to work project CTA can provide you with advice and support to ensure your transport is operated safely and legally.

The CTA website has useful information on it. 

Community First Oxfordshire also assists communities with community transport schemes more information here
