Join ATCO

There are three categories of ATCO Membership:

  • Voting Membership is open to Local Authority Officers who have significant responsibility for providing passenger transport services, infrastructure or publicity, and to officers working for organisations to which local authorities have delegated responsibility for these activities.
  • Non-Voting Membership is open to persons whose employment is not with a transport operator, but is otherwise passenger transport related, and whose duties would not qualify them to be a Voting Member.
  • Retired Membership is open to former voting and non-voting members who are no longer substantively employed in the passenger transport field and who would otherwise no longer qualify for membership of the Association.

Membership applications must include a brief statement of duties and be submitted for consideration. They must be accompanied by the appropriate fee. Approval is normally a formality provided the applicant meets the requirements of the Association.

The current membership fee is £50. Applicants who have not previously been members of ATCO pay £40 for their first year's membership. Former members of ATCO who are re-joining pay £50 and for retired members (£30).

Summer Conference 2011

Brighton PavilionGrowing the market

ATCO’s national summer conference is the largest gathering of local authority staff responsible for the provision of local authority passenger transport services. It also attracts many transport professionals from the private public transport sector.

This years conference will explore how public transport usage can be increased despite the current financial climate and will provide you with information on current developments and the opportunity to exchange information with other transport professionals.

Journey Planner

The Department for Education (DfE) have announced that they are conducting a review of school transport with the aim of providing new guidance to local authorities. The Summer Conference will include an alternative programme on Thursday 16 June which will focus on the review. This session will be conducted with the DfE and will give delegates an opportunity to contribute positively to this important piece of work. We would encourage members, who are particularly engaged in the field of school transport, to attend this part of the conference.
