Document summary

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound and disproportionate impact on disabled people in the UK – and the impact has continued since restrictions have gradually been lifted. The evidence suggests that many disabled people experience continued uncertainty around risks to their health and wellbeing when leaving their homes, as a result of the pandemic, compounded with pre-existing barriers to using both public and private modes of transport. Motability commissioned BritainThinks to carry out a longitudinal mixed-methods research project to understand how experiences of travel and transport have changed for disabled people since the pandemic began and what this might mean for access to transportation in the future.
