Accessible Transport: Unlocking a Better Normal
The document "Accessible transport: Unlocking a better normal" by Transport Focus highlights the key findings of a research study which focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the travel habits of disabled people in the UK. The study found that while some disabled people have experienced greater flexibility and more options in terms of travel, others have faced significant barriers, particularly with regards to the availability and reliability of public transport. The report recommends that the government and transport providers work towards creating a more accessible and inclusive transport system that meets the needs of all passengers, including those with disabilities. The report also highlights the need for greater consultation and engagement with disabled people and disability groups to ensure that their views are taken into account in the development of transport policies and services.
