Today, we have published the Government's response to our report on disabled people's access to transport. Remind yourself of what we recommended to the Government below ⬇️
Too often, people with accessibility needs are being let down, and this needs to change. There needs to be an overhaul of UK transport’s regulatory system to ensure disabled people are protected from discrimination and can travel where and when they need to. Read our report 👇
"Accessible transport is a theme this Committee will return to throughout this Parliament, expecting to see robust plans and progress." We are not done yet. Head to our website for @RuthCadbury's statement on the Government's response to our transport accessibility report ⬇️
We have written to the Transport Secretary asking for further detail about some aspects of @transportgovuk response to our latest report. A review of the legal framework for transport accessibility is welcome, but updated laws will also need strong, proactive enforcement.
