On 9 August 2024, the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee (DPTAC) issued an advice note on floating bus stops following the publication of research by Living Streets. Officials working on the floating bus stop guidance were aware of this advice.

DfT officials met with DPTAC before the guidance was drafted, and consulted them throughout the development of the guidance.
