Statistics
TCTA aims to promote social inclusion and equality of opportunity through the provision of community transport services, and to work with individuals, groups and communities to investigate and address transport need.
Despite the common misconception, potential users of our services do not need to be elderly or disabled, but merely need to have no other viable form of transport at the time that they need to travel. Having said that, a large proportion of our passengers are either older and or have mobility difficulties.
