| Synopsis: |
The Committee's report examines the subject of disabled people's access to transport, particularly in relation to the provisions of the draft Disability Discrimination Bill (Cm 6058-I/II/III, ISBN 010160582X) published in December 2003. Issues discussed include: barriers to accessible public transport for disabled people including design of trains, buses and taxis, the transport exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, and the physical infrastructure of transport related buildings; the proposed removal of the transport exemption in the new draft Bill; defining the concept of 'reasonableness'; and cost issues. Conclusions reached include that, although progress in being made towards establishing an inclusive transport system, there is no room for complacency. More needs to be done in terms of raising awareness of: proposed changes and their requirements; travel training needs, both of disabled people and those employed in the transport industry; accessibility issues when designing building, vehicles and infrastructure.It is noted that, whilst a fully accessible system will take time to deliver, disabled people deserve to have accessibility issues considered promptly, and to be given a clear timescale for change, particularly in relation to the rail system. |
