We’re proud to share that ncat and our Policy Commission have been acknowledged in the UK Government’s official response to the Transport Committee’s report, Access Denied: Rights versus Reality in Disabled People’s Access to Transport.
The report stated that “The Department is aware that the National Centre for Accessible Transport has worked with the Accessible Transport Policy Commission to create an Accessible Transport Charter for local and regional political leaders, and it is the Department’s intention to work collaboratively to build upon this pioneering piece and amplify it to the national level.”
This recognition highlights the impact of our work and the importance of collaborative efforts to drive systemic change in transport accessibility.
We welcome the Government’s pledge to review the legislative framework and are committed to continuing our work to ensure that accessibility is embedded at every level of transport policy and practice.
While this is a positive step, we echo the Committee’s call for greater urgency and clarity in delivering real, tangible improvements for disabled people across the UK.
