Document summary

One of the priority aims in our strategic plan for 2019-221 is to see public transport that is accessible and that supports the inclusion of older and disabled people. As part of the work to support this aim, we explored the extent of equality considerations for older and disabled people in public transport strategies and policies in Wales, such as local and national transport strategies. We also held focus groups with older and disabled people, and their representatives, to explore the impact of these considerations on their experiences of public transport. We finished these activities before the coronavirus pandemic, which transformed the operation and use of public transport, and introduced new barriers to travel for older and disabled people.
