Transport For All - Are We There Yet?

Transport For All - Are We There Yet?

This report presents highlights of the findings from research carried out by Transport for All during 2022 and 2023. It presents disabled people’s experiences of transport in England the barriers we face and priorities for change.

Transport for All says:

“One of the foundational principles of the disability rights movement is ‘Nothing about us without us’. Yet as a community, we are almost never given a real seat at the table. Therefore, when asked ‘where is the data’, we say this: disabled people have been speaking up about our experiences and the barriers we face for decades. The evidence of our lived experiences is there, but for change to happen we must be listened to and believed.

This new report is part of Transport for All’s sustained efforts to remedy this injustice by putting the spotlight on our community’s experiences and voices, and documenting the barriers we face and what needs to change. Now, the transport industry must listen and act to deliver transport justice for disabled people.

We all have the right to travel with freedom and confidence. “

The report in various formats is available at the bottom of their website page

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
