What does future hold for #CommunityTransport in Scotland? ๐ฎ

Key challenges: fleet decarbonisation, new tech, driver shortages & ageing population

Good to see some reporting on this issue which will affect Scottish groups, organisations and the most vulnerable in our society.

Why were we refused a section 22 permit with no right of appeal? First in Scotland. DfT NEW interpretation of 30 yr old rules is astonishing ๐ ๐ #WithoutCT@Jesse_Norman@HumzaYousaf https://t.co/i0MUknjjt9
We have been refused a section 22 permit by the Traffic Commissioners office in Scotland to operate a subsidised service route via a competitive tendering process and told there is no appeal process. @Jesse_Norman business as usual? #WithoutCT
