Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan, in the Department for Transport Accessibility Action Plan, to confirm timescales for the publication of the Accessible Information Requirement regulations associated with the Bus Services Act 2017.

The Government’s consultation on the draft transport Accessibility Action Plan closed on Wednesday 22nd November. The final version will be published in 2018 and will set out the Government’s ambitions in this area based on the feedback provided. The final Plan will also set out the Government’s timescale for delivery.

The Government remains committed to introducing an Accessible Information Requirement, expanding the provision of audible and visible information to local bus services across Great Britain, so helping passengers to travel with greater confidence.
