Get on board...

"Over the last decade there has been a massive decline in the number of bus services, particularly of those is rural and semi-rural areas. In order to alleviate loneliness, improve health and wellbeing, as well as promoting sustainable development, the NFWI calls on the Government and local authorities to increase subsidies and work in partnership with bus companies and community transport operators to enable an adequate provision of services."

​With bus services under threat across England, Wales and the Islands, this resolution calls on both local and national governments to take action. This campaign seeks to raise awareness of the importance of local bus services and to empower members, WIs and federations to make the case for buses in their local communities.

New report: Covid-19 and the transport system 

Picture
  In a new report, the Campaign for Better Transport (@CBTransport) highlights the impact of the Covid-19  crisis on the transport system and the need for a future focused strategy from the Government.

  The report also outlines a transformative vision of the transport system and calls for 100% zero-emission road and rail transport, improved connectivity post Covid-19 and reforms to the bus sector.

Get Involved

The NFWI is collecting case studies about members’ experiences of local bus services. Have you experienced a loss of service? What has been the impact of this? Has your community campaigned successfully to save a local service? We want to hear from you. Call or email us with your story at pa@nfwi.org.uk or 020 7371 9300 ext.238.
We are also asking members to support and use their local bus services – speaking up to make sure their value is recognised in the face of cuts or reductions and to push for viable and sustainable services. We have outlined various ways for you to get started on this campaign in our new campaign action pack.
