PDFFree to move: VCOSS accessible transport forum

01 April 2011Almost 3 years after publishing the report of the Accessible Transport Watch Project - which included 27 recommendations to improve the accessibility of public transport for members of the travelling public, and particularly for passengers with disabilities - and in light of continuing concern with the progress of accessibility improvements in the public transport network, VCOSS convened a forum in December 2010 to prompt discussion on the continuing problems and how communities might respond. This report presents a summary of those discussions.
