UK: New funding for community transport projects
Fifteen community transport projects across Scotland are to receive over £1 million (1.4 million euro) in funding from the Scottish Executive's Rural Community Transport Initiative.
“This devolved government is committed to improving transport links for people living in areas where they are limited. Already community minibuses, dial-a-bus services and car sharing schemes are making a real difference for people living in Scotland’s rural and remote areas.
This new funding will help further bridge the transport gap in these areas for groups such as the elderly, the disabled and young people”. Said the Scottish Transport Minister Tavish Scott.
The projects include a volunteer car sharing scheme in Aberdeenshire, and a community minibus in the Scottish Borders.

Poco più di un euro a settimana, un caffè al bar o forse meno. 60 euro l’anno per tutti i contenuti di VITA, gli articoli online senza pubblicità, i magazine, le newsletter, i podcast, le infografiche e i libri digitali. Ma soprattutto per aiutarci a raccontare il sociale con sempre maggiore forza e incisività.
