Aberdeenshire Community Transport Forum

The Aberdeenshire Community Transport Forum (ACTF) was established in June 2001 to improve communication between the Council and local community transport providers. It aims to provide a forum for the exchange of best practice, and to allow debate on issues of mutual interest. Forum meetings are attended by various community transport operators, representatives of the Council, the local Community Transport Association Development Worker, and other interested parties.

If you are currently involved in voluntary or community transport provision or are considering setting-up a local project and you are interested in attending Forum meetings, contact Marion Mackay of the Public Transport Unit by emailing public.transport@aberdeenshire.gov.uk or Tel: 01224 664588
