About the National Centre for Accessible Transport (ncat)

This evidence will inform policy and strategy, and influence investment decisions by government, transport operators, and providers of mobility services. ncat’s work is fully rooted in the realities of the lived experiences of disabled people and stakeholders who inform and help prioritise our work.
