Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Inclusive Transport Strategy, updated on 3 November 2022, what progress his Department has made on (a) creating a standard for accessible bus stations and stops and (b) in developing a toolkit to assist local authorities in improving the accessibility of bus stations and stops.
The Department has initiated the research procurement process that will enable us to understand the impact of bus station and stop design on disabled people and other users. This will inform future work on a potential accessible design standard and local authority toolkit.
