This guide has been co-developed with members of the South Manchester Transport Working Group which includes:

People who live in South Manchester, Manchester Local Care Organisation, Withington Assist, Age Friendly Wythenshawe, Manchester Active, Carers Manchester South, Manchester City Councils Age Friendly Neighbourhoods Team, Primary Care Staff.

This guide has been developed to respond to identified needs:

• Lack of accessible information in the community to support people in understanding transport options.
• Digital exclusion creating a barrier to accessing information on transport which is available to the public.
• Challenges accessing medical appointments, community-based services and activities due to poor knowledge or availability of transport.

We hope that this will be a useful tool for all residents in South Manchester, but the primary focus is older adults who are digitally excluded, so please print and share with anybody who may benefit from it.

Thank you to all the people and organisation who have supported the production of this guide.
