Dorchester Transport Action Group is a non party-political, not-for-profit organisation. It aims to:
  1. Improve sustainable transport provision for the people of Dorchester and the surrounding area, particularly to help those without access to a car and to make low carbon alternatives to car use more attractive, recognising the importance of the Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy.
  2. Work with both Dorchester Town Council and Dorset Council and neighbouring TAGs to achieve this.
  3. Set out a long-term vision for the transport system in Dorchester and the surrounding area.
  4. Work with bus and rail operators and other local transport organisations to make constructive suggestions about how local public transport provision may be improved.

Please come to our First Public Meeting
15th June 2022

The Dorchester Transport Action Group has reformed and we are holding our first public meeting on Wednesday 15th June 2022 in the Magistrates room of the Corn Exchange, Dorchester DT1 1HF. The meeting will run from 19.00-21.00 with the bar available from 18.30. We welcome anyone from Dorchester and the surrounding area who is interested in sustainable transport in Dorchester to attend.
 
Purpose: The meeting is intended to let residents know about the work of the Transport Action group and to consult with residents on the the main transport issues affecting people living in and around Dorchester.
​
The meeting will begin with a (very short) AGM to formally start the new organisation, followed by an interactive session where will be discussing many of the transport issues facing Dorchester now and in the future. We are particularly interested in your views on sustainable transport provision to help those without access to a car and to make low carbon alternatives to car use more attractive.
If you are concerned about any transport issues in Dorchester – rail, buses, electric cars, e-scooters, cycling, walking, riding – or just want to know more about how transport may change over the coming years as we move towards a net-zero future, then please come along to our meeting.
 
Membership: DTAG is run by a group of volunteers who have an interest in the future of Dorchester’s transport system. We would be delighted to welcome new members to the group.
 
Questions: If you have any questions before the event please contact the acting Chair, Stewart Palmer at shartlandpalmer@gmail.com
