April is #AutismAcceptanceMonth!
See how campaign partner @LumoTravel is helping to raise awareness among their teams of the challenges customers can face, and how we can all help to make everyone’s journey easier.

Roads and Accessibility Minister @GuyOpperman announced that bus operators can now apply for a share of £4.6m funding, to help the rollout of audio-visual technology.
This will help disabled passengers across Great Britain use their local bus services with confidence.
