Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the views of disabled people are represented in transport policy decisions.

Department for Transport (DfT) officials engage regularly with stakeholders representing disabled people.

The Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee (DPTAC) is the Department’s expert statutory advisor on the transport needs of disabled people. Involving DPTAC from the earliest stages of policy development helps us to ensure our policies deliver for disabled people.

The Inclusive Transport Stakeholder Group (ITSG), which includes members from local government, transport operators, disabled people’s organisations and charities, acts as a sounding board to the Department as it develops and delivers policy on inclusive transport, drawing on the experience of Disabled People’s Organisations and transport partners.
