Document summary

People with disabilities (PwD) are proportionally low users of public transport. To better understand how public transport use by PwD could be improved, this report was conducted by RSSB, under a memorandum of understanding with the Australasian Centre for Rail Innovation (ACRI) and the CQ University . Public transport systems in five countries [including the UK] are examined to identify good practice and current shortcomings around accessibility. Examples of good practise from other sectors within those countries were also identified, where they had applicability to rail.
