Yesterday we launched our new report: En route to inclusive public transport 🚎
@RuthCadbury MP, Transport Select Committee Chair, led the discussion.
Too many passengers in the UK still face daily barriers to travel, particularly disabled and neurodivergent people, older travellers and families with young children.
Our findings show a major gap: there is no whole system approach to accessibility. Fragmented data, a complex policy landscape and limited inclusive design expertise are holding back progress.
