Chaired by Leon Daniels OBE, the session will provide an opportunity for bus operators and community transport providers to contribute their insights and experience. Attendees will be invited to share:
- Perspectives on operating in the CPCA area, including current challenges;
- Experiences from other contracting environments; and
- Examples of best practice from elsewhere.
The workshop will explore both short and long-term improvements for the local bus network, identifying practical actions and lessons learned to inform the ongoing review.
