Transport issues for people with intellectual disability - Council for Intellectual Disability 2

Transport

Public transport is often hard for people with intellectual disability to access.

We want transport services to consult people with intellectual disability so they can be more welcoming, safe, clear and inclusive.

Transport is important to us because it is our ticket to the world.

Our members give expert advice to government and transport providers on how to improve their services for people with intellectual disability.

Our Advocacy Group is testing Sydney’s major public transport services. They are reporting on the issues they find. Read about their work below.

Anthony and Justen tell us about testing the new intercity trains.

We are working to make public transport more inclusive.

Anthony successfully advocated to stop transport changes that would discriminate against him and his friends with intellectual disability.
