Code of Practice for Accessible Transport

The Code of Practice for Accessible Transport sets guidelines to ensure transportation services are usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. It specifies standards for things like vehicle design, safety features, and accessibility options (like ramps and audio announcements), aiming to provide fair and equitable access. The goal is to promote inclusive travel experiences, improve independence, and ensure that transport services meet the needs of all passengers regardless of their physical abilities. This code helps transport providers understand how to adapt their services responsibly and consistently for accessible, barrier-free travel.
