About Us

We are a charity, run on a not-for-profit basis, relying on contributions from County & District councils and the parishes we serve. We have been providing accessible, affordable transport since 1993 as the Ivybridge & District Community Transport Association (IDCTA).

We began by running a single vehicle serving Ivybridge, Cornwood, Lutton and Sparkwell. Our service has since grown and we now operate two adapted minibuses as well as a voluntary car scheme covering Ivybridge and its surrounding parishes.

We operate from an office in The Watermark in Ivybridge, employing a part time Coordinator and Assistant who manage the day to day running of the schemes, assisted by volunteers.
