Details

This document gives the latest guidance on designing and improving the accessibility and inclusivity of public transport and pedestrian infrastructure.

This guidance was informed by research that the Department for Transport (DfT) published in February 2020.

The purpose is to provide good access for disabled people and meet the needs of many other people.

We expect to review this document frequently in the future, responding to evolving research, people’s needs and best practice.

We will consider feedback, evolving evidence and research to inform future updates. We will do this through our work to deliver our commitments in the Inclusive Transport Strategy.

Suggestions can be sent to DfT at inclusivetransport@dft.gov.uk.

The next update will be considered within 5 years.
