Welcome to the Confederation of Passenger Transport’s (CPT) Election Centre. This resource is designed to give you everything you need as a bus and coach operator to engage with candidates on the issues that matter to the industry and understand what each of the main parties is proposing in policy areas that impact bus and coach.
CPT’s priorities for government
CPT has produced two documents setting out the policies the next government needs to introduce to help the bus and coach industry continue to deliver for passengers, the economy and the environment. Our bus document was created alongside the Campaign for Better Transport.
