Voices of the Walk

Building transport services that work for everyone


Listen Later

In this episode, we look at how walking and public transport can be safer, more accessible and more welcoming for people with disabilities, long-term conditions and those with dementia.

Our Senior Development Officer Carl Greenwood and guests Andy Hyde and Hussein Patwa explore what constitutes an inclusive journey, and how design of our transport services can be more inclusive.

Our experts discuss the challenges that face people with disabilities when making journeys, and the impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the way we access and experience travel and transport.

We also look at what opportunities COP26 has created around establishing a low-carbon public transport system that works for everyone.
