Document summary
The Department of Transport’s ‘Accessibility Action Plan’ (AAP) is partly a response
to the House of Lords select committee report ‘The Equality Act 2010: the impact on
disabled people’. Age UK was pleased to be consulted during the development of the AAP and we back the majority of recommendations and actions set out in the consultation. At the same time we have concerns about some of the contradictions in the AAP relating to wider transport policies. For example, the overall decline in essential bus services to rural
places, cuts to transport staff and regulations potentially threatening the viability of
some community transport services.
