Transport Minister Nusrat Ghani has announced that new measures to ensure that wheelchair users can safely access on-board wheelchair spaces on buses will be introduced by the Department for Transport.
Aimed at challenging the barriers still faced by some people with disabilities when using bus services, the government will begin developing proposals to ensure that wheelchair users can access buses and that drivers can fulfil the duties given to them by the Supreme Court.
People with disabilities make 10 times as many journeys by bus as by rail, meaning accessible buses are crucial in supporting them to live independent lives and fulfil their potential.
Ghani said: “Passengers with disabilities must have the same opportunities to travel as other members of society, and it is essential that the services they rely on are accessible and work for them. Where people live, shop, go out, or park their car should not be determined by their disability and accessible transport networks are vital if we are to support those with disabilities to live independent lives and fulfil their potential.”
