Document summary
The past decade has seen tremendous improvements to the accessibility of transport services in Northern Ireland. Legislation, changes to policy and investment has seen the introduction of modern bus and rail services as well as additional services such as rural Dial-alift and Disability Action Transport Services (formerly Door2Door transport). From the perspective of Imtac these changes have been positive and have increased travel choice for disabled people and older people. However the current design of transport infrastructure, vehicles and services can still make travel difficult for some older and disabled people. In particular the continued prevalence of steps on vehicles and infrastructure are a major barrier to travel. Imtac has developed this statement to affirm our position that to be truly inclusive and accessible the future transport system in Northern Ireland should be step-free.
