Document summary

With generous funding from Motability, Sustrans partnered with Transport for All to provide an opportunity to put the lived experience, views and ideas of disabled people at the fore of policy, investment and practice for walking and wheeling. A panimpairment approach was used throughout all activities. To do so we held four two-day citizens’ workshops with disabled people across the UK. Disabled people shared their experiences, explored barriers on the street locally, and worked together to suggest and design solutions for change. These solutions were then tested and refined with practitioners from the transport sector and disability organisations across the UK. The workshop facilitators, and many of the practitioners and delivery team members were also disabled people. Finally, the solutions that disabled people had developed were tested with the wider public through an independent representative survey of disabled people living across the UK
