Community Transport Glasgow

Although Glasgow has relatively good public and bespoke transport services available, community transport still has a major role to play covering a very wide range of needs from access to hospital from disadvantaged areas to ensuring that young people can participate in team sports at an affordable cost.

To meet such needs, community transport provision has grown significantly in the Glasgow area in recent years and has achieved successes in capacity building within communities and meeting transport needs that are not covered by other provision.

To consolidate this growth, and in recognition of best practice in other UK cities, Glasgow Community Transport Operators Group was formed in October 2003.  The group’s aims were to implement a strategy to develop community transport services serving the Glasgow area.  This initiative was developed through work carried out by Castlemilk Community Transport Ltd, Greater Easterhouse Development Company and Greater Pollok Development Company.

Membership of the Group expanded to include projects from Castlemilk, Pollok, Drumchapel, North Glasgow and the East End of Glasgow.  The group was formally constituted at a meeting of its membership in January 2004.

In June 2005 the group changed its name to Community Transport Glasgow, we are a Registered Charity and a Company Limited by Guarantee.
