We were delighted to be joined by Minister @LilianGreenwood, @MarieTidball and colleagues to discuss how accessible transport enables disabled people to access work, education and everyday life.

Thanks to everyone who joined us! (1/3)

[Lilian Greenwood @LilianGreenwood]

Great to join @marietidball, colleagues, campaigners and Motability at a roundtable #Lab26 to discuss the barriers disabled people still face accessing work, education and training and how we can work together to break them down. 🌹

[Motability Foundation @Motability]

We know the difference accessible and reliable transport makes. 2025 research with Scheme customers found that 92% of those employed agree the Scheme makes a difference in their ability to maintain employment. (2/3)
