Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of the public's access to public transport; and what steps he plans to take to improve that access and reduce the effect of travel on climate change.

The Government’s Inclusive Transport Strategy sets out measures we are taking to assess and improve accessibility to public transport across the network. These commitments are mirrored in Bus Back Better and the Plan for Rail, which will extend accessible public transport to more people across our communities. The Department has also developed the Model of Connectivity to better understand where people are travelling to and how to inform transport planning. Results from this model will be made available for all nations of the UK from later this year.
