Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure access to public transport by passengers with disabilities.

The Government is committed to ensuring that disabled people have the same access to transport and opportunities to travel as everyone else. In July 2018 the Government launched the Inclusive Transport Strategy (ITS) which sets out key policy and investment priorities to deliver a wholly inclusive transport system.

The ITS is, however, only applicable to England and, in some areas, Great Britain. Transport is an entirely devolved matter to the Northern Ireland Assembly.
