The ATCO Board provides support to the ATCO Executives and Regional Groups to ensure that their activities benefit the ATCO membership.
The Board also regularly represents ATCO members and is asked for strategic input in conversations with the Department for Transport, Department for Education, County Councils Network, Local Government Association, ADEPT, the House of Commons Transport Select Committee and the DVSA.
ATCO currently has two Executive Committees: the ATCO School Transport/SEND Executive and the ATCO Bus Executive.
These sub-committees usually meet at least twice a year and involve representatives from each region. To get involved you should normally contact your regional representative first and then arrange to give feedback to your region.
Executives publish papers or responses to consultations from time to time. The aim is to list these on the website and make publications more accessible to ATCO members.
ATCO covers the whole of England, Scotland and Wales, and is broken down into regions. Each region has its own ATCO Regional Group.
Activities vary around the country, but most regional groups meet either in person or virtually several times each year to discuss both local and national issues.
Regional meetings are also a valuable opportunity to network with colleagues in neighbouring local authorities.
If you would like to find out more about your local group, contact hello@atco.org.uk.
