This is a submission responding to the 2022 Review of the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002.
Public transport accessibility remains a critical access, inclusion and human rights issue for people with disability, with only incremental improvement in compliance with Transport Standards and public transport accessibility over the years. People with disability can more fully participate in society and enjoy their right to dignified, equitable and independent access if they can easily use public transport.
In this submission, PWDA fully endorses the submissions to this review of the Transport Standards provided by the National Inclusive Transport Advocacy Network (NITAN) and the Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC).
