Rural and Community Transport

Devon Rural Transport Partnership

The Devon Rural Transport Partnership (DRTP) ran from 1999 to 2008 and was set up to investigate and address rural transport issues in Devon. The Partnership was made up of over 30 voluntary, community and statutory agencies that all had an interest in improving access to services within the county.

Support was given to existing voluntary and community transport groups and to local communities wanting to address the transport needs in their area. This included help with identifying the most appropriate transport solutions, as well as advice on applying for funding and the practicalities of setting up new transport projects.

The Partnership also worked at a strategic level to raise the profile of transport issues. This included encouraging organisations to think about transport and access issues when planning new services. The Partnership looked at the provision of services on a county wide basis and tried to ensure that there was no duplication, that services were integrated where possible and that the best use was made of existing resources.
