Recommendation 1
1
Mandate adequately funded and planned involvement of disabled people in developing transport accessibility solutions.
Conclusion
Aside from the structural legal issues, it is clear from the evidence that myriad specific practical issues need to be addressed, across all transport modes and relating to all kinds of disability, to improve compliance and practice on a daily basis. We will seek to hold the Department for Transport, local authorities and providers to account for addressing these issues. The meaningful involvement of disabled people must be central to the work of operators and government at all levels in solving these problems, and such involvement must be adequately funded, planned and supported. (Conclusion, Paragraph 38) From policy aspiration to implementation: where do things go wrong?
