NDPTU | North Devon Public Transport Users

North Devon Public Transport Users (NDPTU) is a voluntary think tank and campaigning body. Its purpose is to advance the cause of better public transport for all who live in and visit northern Devon.

Good public transport, widely available and supported where needed from public funds, benefits everybody.
Public funds for transport, being limited, need to be used effectively and fairly, for the benefit of as many people as possible.
Since there are many views about what makes for good public transport provision, informed and reasoned public debate is vital.
Public transport needs are changing as a result of Coronavirus (and the climate emergency); see this paper.

For more, see … Public Transport Matters — the need for proper debate about public transport.

Open to all who wish to participate, North Devon Public Transport Users exists to promote and contribute to debate about public transport in northern Devon by:

Providing a forum in which members of the public can comment on public transport provision;
Looking critically at current provision;
Looking at proposals for changes and development in provision, identifying their strengths and weaknesses;
Formulating proposals for development in provision for public scrutiny;
Providing information to help the public to look critically at proposals for change in public transport provision;
Bringing our deliberations to the attention of those who actually shape provision.

For more, see … NDPTU: Nature and Role — what we are and what we seek to do, and Organisational Structure — the composition of NDPTU. Leaflets with more information are available from the Museum of North Devon (Barnstaple), the Tomlin Hall (Bickington) and the Burton Art Gallery (Bideford).
