Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), submitted proposals for a 'Let's Chat' project, working with community transport operators to provide specific services across the West Midlands. TfWM's proposal was shortlisted and subsequently approved and this provides the funding to deliver a pilot project. 'Let's Chat' uses transport as a central focus and consists of going close to where people are and offering the opportunity for social contact, a chat and a coffee, please see the Specification document for further details.
