Disability Equality Scotland want to hear from people living in Scotland with a disability or who provide support for a disabled person.

The original Accessible Travel Framework (ATF) was published in 2016, with the framework based on consultation between key stakeholders, including: disabled people; Disabled Peoples Organisation’s (DPO); transport providers; and Transport Scotland.

The framework was produced to support disabled people’s rights by removing barriers and improving access to travel, and ensuring disabled people are fully involved in work to improve all aspects of travel.

Disability Equality Scotland (DES) has been approached by Transport Scotland to assist them in identifying the current views of disabled people concerning travel within Scotland.

This information will be used by Transport Scotland as they develop a successor to the ATF. They are therefore seeking your help to ensure that the views of as many disabled people as possible are represented.

To help them work out what is important for a future ATF, they need to learn what is happening right now across the Scottish transport network and how disabled people travel.

The ATF also covers how to tackle hate crimes and abuse towards disabled people. As the ATF covers lots of areas, they have tried to break it down into smaller surveys to make it easier for people to answer the questions.

They have put together 3 surveys to help find out what is happening in Scotland now. They have an online version of the survey (including an easy-read version).

Please answer the survey questions if:

  • You live in Scotland
  • You are a disabled person
  • You provide support for a disabled person

Find the different surveys here.
