Document summary
| The Motability Foundation awarded a user research grant to The Mental Health Foundation to carry out research into the challenges people living with mental health conditions face with public transport.
The research was delivered in three strands, exploring challenges and opportunities for people with a psychiatric diagnoses, people living with dementia and mothers of babies and young children. Each of these strands was led by people with lived experience. One of the overarching conclusions reached by this research is that the complexity of different people’s needs on public transport can compete with each other. This emphasises the need for personalised forms of supported access to transport. The report highlights recommendations for personal strategies to improve travel on public transport. It also offers recommendations for local and national government, travel companies and health and social care services. These include co-designed training for transport staff and providing peer support to help people re-engage with public transport. |
