We know from our own research and wider studies that transport is often the top concern for older people. In our Transport working group we have worked extensively with Transport for Greater Manchester, highlighting the key issues for older people. We have looked at Clean Air proposals and the future of buses, as well as sharing concerns around COVID-safety.

 

Our group members come from across Greater Manchester and we benefit from the knowledge of projects and initiatives taking place in all the boroughs. Our meetings are currently taking place on Zoom which although a challenge for some people, has also made it easier for people from outer boroughs to attend, without having to travel into Manchester city centre. We held an event on Transport in 2018 and produced a report and recommendations afterwards. 

 

We always welcome new members who would like to get their voices heard and work for positive change.
