Salfordians with access needs are being encouraged to take part in a nationwide survey sharing their experiences with public transport.
The Transport Select Committee has circulated a survey looking into the inclusivity of public transport across disability groups nationwide.
Posted in the Salford Disability Forum Ltd group, the survey hopes to investigate “why problems occur, and how things could be improved.”
The “Does public transport work for people with access needs?” survey asks people with health conditions or impairments, as well as non-disabled people who travel with them, for examples of challenges and barriers on public transport.
The two-question form covers issue son a range of public transport, including buses, trains, taxis, planes, and streets.
Regional Campaigns Officer for the North West, Terri Balon, posted in the Salford group: “We, members of the Transport Select Committee, would like to hear about the barriers that people with all kinds of disabilities and accessibility needs in the UK can experience when using passenger transport. This includes buses, trains, taxis, planes, and using the streets to get around.
“We would like to hear about these experiences as part of our inquiry into the legal obligations that exist for providing accessible passenger transport and how these are enforced.
“The Committee will use the information you have provided about your experiences to support our research and shape our final report. We will use it to build up a general picture of where and why problems occur, and how things could be improved. This may include publishing quotes or details from some of your responses, but without your name or any identifying details.
“This short survey is an opportunity for you to tell us about your experiences of travelling and any problems or barriers you
things could be improved. This may include publishing quotes or details from some of your responses, but without your name or any identifying details.”
