This document discusses the Total Transport Pilot Fund, which provided £7.6 million to 36 local authorities to improve integration of transportation resources. The goals were to better understand challenges of integrated transportation, raise awareness, and improve efficiency and service standards. Key themes from funded projects included improved integration with public/health services, enhanced community transportation partnerships, and new technologies. Nottinghamshire's project focused on rural areas, targeting improved access to health, education, employment while reducing isolation. Outcomes may include shared resources, easier booking systems, and expanded rural access.
