What The Project Is About
The project will study the accessible transport profession in local government, including what roles fall under the profession, their level of seniority, and how local government teams are organised to embed transport accessibility as an agenda.
What It Seeks To Do
This project will foster a better understanding of local policy making in accessible transport in national and local government. It aims to make accessible transport a greater priority for local and regional authorities and representative bodies such as the Local Government Association. and lay the foundations for a permanent community of practice on accessible transport founded on ncat values of coproduction with disabled people.
How It Seeks To Do It
Through surveys, focus groups and relationship building, this project seeks to strengthen relationships with local authorities and ensure that accessible transport is at the heart of their agenda.
What we’ve done so far
Currently compiling an evidence review of existing research on local authorities workers and similar professionals. Produced surveys for disabled people to give views on local transport experiences.
