The purpose of the RTF is to support transport services designed to give people in rural areas improved access to work, education, healthcare, shopping and recreational activities and by so doing assists in reducing their social isolation.
Services which are grant funded under the RTF are:
- Rural Community Transport Partnerships (RCTPs); and
- Community Transport Association (CTA).
This form considers the equality impacts on CTA. A separate form has been completed for the RCTPs.
