ALT Text that says: Accessibility of transport for disabled people. We have launched a review of the current legislation on transport accessibility.

ALT Quote by Professor Alison Young, Commissioner for Public Law and the Law in Wales that says: "Disabled people deserve to travel with confidence, knowing their rights are clear and enforceable. This review is an important opportunity to make sure the law in this area is simpler, stronger and fairer for everyone affected."

ALT Quote from the Minister for Roads and Buses, Simon Lightwood, that says: "From speaking to passengers, I know the challenges disabled people face when travelling on our transport network. That is why I am delighted that the Law Commission has agreed to this review so we can give disabled people and transport operators the clarity and certainty they need, helping to make transport fit for everyone."

ALT The text has four bullet points that say: The review aims to make recommendations aimed at simplifying the legal framework and supporting end-to-end journeys by disabled people across Great Britain. It will assess if enforcement mechanisms work effectively and across all transport modes. It will be undertaken with a view to ensuring long-term accessibility and adaptability for legal frameworks. The lived experience of disabled people will be centred throughout the review.
