Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the accessibility needs of blind and partially sighted people are embedded in the Integrated National Transport Strategy for England.
The Integrated National Transport Strategy will be published later this year and puts people and the journeys they make at the heart of how we plan, build and operate transport, reflecting transport’s key role in unlocking access to opportunities. Accessibility will be a priority area of the Strategy and it will aim to support disabled people, including those who are blind and partially sighted, to travel more confidently and independently across the transport network with fewer barriers.
