Rural transport and accessibility projects.

The Rural Transport & Accessibility Partnership has been formed to build on the work previously delivered by the Rural Transport Partnerships and to address the new accessibility priorities which are emerging in Northamptonshire. The Partnerships work is closely linked to the Local Transport Plan, The Northamptonshire Accessibility Strategy and the emerging Rural Renewal Partnership.

The five main strands of the Partnership’s focus are:

Strategic Influencing
Influencing policies and strategies at local, sub-regional, regional and national levels. Acting as an advocate for rural transport and accessibility issues.

Support & Facilitation
Providing support to voluntary and community transport providers, voluntary groups, parish councils and local communities to help develop, implement and sustain rural transport and accessibility projects.

Focus
Providing a focal point for information on rural transport issues.

Information / Publicity
Preparing, publicising and disseminating information on rural transport and accessibility issues.

Project Work
