According to data from the National Centre for Accessible Transport, nine-in-ten disabled people face barriers while using UK transport.
Travel is a crucial part of everyday life. From getting to work or education, attending medical appointments, and running errands, to socialising with friends and accessing community activities: independence relies on having safe and reliable, accessible transport.
For many organisations, accessible minibuses play a vital role in breaking down barriers and combating the negative results of insufficient travel. For example, Age UK found evidence that shows having the opportunity to travel and the journey itself can be beneficial to wellbeing, regardless of the destination, as it increases opportunities and the chances for interaction.
Additionally, having reliable, accessible transport can have a significant positive impact on communities as a whole. Features such as wheelchair access, low-floor entry, high-visibility handrails and bright interior finishes improve safety, comfort and independence for all passengers, not just those with mobility needs. This wider impact is often referred to as the Curb-Cut Effect – where inclusive design creates better experiences for all. By removing barriers to travel, accessible transport empowers people of all ages and abilities and makes everyday life easier whilst helping to create a more inclusive, connected society.
