Accessible Travel Framework: Have Your Say on Buses and Trains!

The Accessible Travel Framework (ATF) was published in 2016. The framework was produced to:

support disabled people’s rights by removing barriers and improving access to travel and;
ensure disabled people are fully involved in work to improve all aspects of travel.

Disability Equality Scotland (DES) is working with Transport Scotland to seek the current views of disabled people concerning travel within Scotland. This information will be used by Transport Scotland as they develop a successor to the ATF.

So, we are seeking your help to ensure that the views of as many disabled people as possible are represented.

Bus and Train Survey
