Rural Transport
TVRCC has been involved in rural transport for several years, hosting the Rural Transport Partnership (2001 - 2006) and a Rural Transport Liaison Project (2006 - 2008).
Currently John Gregory works as Transport Advisor to lead the organisation's transport work, the overall purpose of which is "to support and develop successful transport activity within the Tees Valley to ensure accessibility and develop sustainability through service innovation, integrating funding and a partnership approach."
TVRCC has built up a network of transport contacts and partner organisations which put it in a unique position to play a key role.
Our current core work for Defra aims to maintain or improve access to transport and local services, particularly in the light of public spending cuts. It ranges from informing and influencing the plans and policies of statutory and other organisations, campaigning and lobbying on rural issues, undertaking and commissioning relevant research and development, to working with local people to enable them to identify and respond to local needs.
We host the Tees Valley Community Transport Forum, manage the Minibus Brokerage Project and are developing Demand Responsive Transport in East Cleveland, are partners in local authority Local Sustainable Transport projects, and support the new Northern Transport Hub.
