"Welcome to Citywide: Community Transport
Wolverhampton"
Citywide originated within Community
Transport, a National Charity that provides a wide variety of services
to socially excluded individuals and groups. CT Wolverhampton has
demonstrated how the charity can meet the need for safe, affordable
transport for registered groups and individuals, as well as providing
recycled furniture for low income families and individuals. 2005
saw the Wolverhampton project make huge steps forward as a project
with firm foundations for the future, based on rapid growth of passenger
operations in addition to the furniture service.
In August 2004 we launched Citywide, a 3-year £0.7m Urban
Bus Challenge (UBN) project to provide transport for young people
in Wolverhampton to access nursery care and playgroups, education,
recreational and vocational training. The scheme operates 364 days
a year and 18 hours a day. The higher profile which the project
gained for CT Wolverhampton was demonstrated by the excellent launch
of Citywide at the Molineux Football Stadium in September 2004.
In addition, Community Transport Wolverhampton is now pioneering
work for the LEA (Life Long Learning Department, Wolverhampton) through the Pathfinder
programme to provide transport support for new curriculum arrangements
for older children with, again, consequent links in terms of all
year round support to disadvantaged and vulnerable young people.
