Technology has moved on. The law hasn’t. This consultation is an important chance to make sure the rules work for people who use powered mobility devices.

We know that transport works better when it is shaped by disabled people's lived experience. That's why we're looking forward to taking part in this conversation. The event is open to members of each organisation. Find out more using the link below.

You can't have an accessible railway without people. For many disabled passengers, staff are the only thing making a journey possible on a network that wasn't designed for us. Details below to join the RMT demo to oppose Driver Only Operation:

Good news from Greater Manchester. Time restrictions are being lifted on disabled people's bus passes from 1 March. Now we need other areas to follow suit to end the postcode lottery. Let's make 2026 the year we can all make the journeys we want, when we need to make them.

Today we're remembering Alan Benson MBE. Alan's honesty, humour and persistence shaped accessible transport in the UK, and Transport for All's work. Never one to let “it’s always been done like this” stand, he called out access barriers, bad design and low ambition. He is deeply missed.

Did you see our team member Sophia in Parliament today? She was speaking to MPs about disabled people's bus passes at the Beyond Fare panel hosted by Whizz Kidz and Bus Users UK.

Applications are now closed for our Senior Research, Training and Consultancy Officer. Thank you to everyone who’s applied! 🧡

Natalie, our North of England Officer, is at the Disabled People’s Assembly in Manchester today hearing from local disabled people and joining the conversations on accessibility across the city. If you’re going too, make sure to say hi!

International Day of Disabled People #IDDP reminds us that disability justice is inseparable from other forms of discrimination. The barriers we face mirror those faced by all marginalised groups. Our struggles connect us. Our solidarity is our strength. 🧵1/2

When buses are frequent, reliable and accessible, whole communities thrive. Many disabled people rely on them, but everyone benefits when our transport system is built for all of us.

Accessible design makes travel better for everyone. For disabled people, it's essential. From working lifts to accessible loos, without it we are locked out of everyday life. That's why we need accessible transport everywhere, so no-one is left behind. #IDDP25

Yesterday our Co-CEO, Emma Vogelmann, joined BBC's Access All to give them our reaction to the Government's Motability cuts. The episode is available on BBC Sounds, or with auto-transcript on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

With public transport still inaccessible for so many disabled people, Motability vehicles are an essential lifeline. Today the Government introduced a maze of complex charges, putting the cars we rely on out of reach for many. Read our statement: https://bit.ly/4p2bYsa

The Budget is a choice about the kind of country we want to live in. Today the Government could have protected disabled people's freedom to travel. Instead, they chose to cut support for the vehicles we rely on. Read our response to the budget: https://bit.ly/4p2bYsa

Thanks to our co-Chairs for being part of the CiTTi Awards. Jo is on the judging panel and Debs is representing Transport for All at tonight's event. We hear guide dog Betty has a super snazzy sparkly collar for the occasion!

Independence means living life on our own terms. When public transport is inaccessible for so many, a car can be a vital lifeline. That’s why threats to remove disabled people’s cars are causing such deep concern across our community. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/49E3QJt

We all need to be able to make everyday journeys in safety and with confidence. Pavement parking takes that freedom away. After five years of hollow words, it’s time for the Government to act. Join the livestream at 4:30pm using the link below.

Anyone who’s had to navigate blocked pavements knows exactly why this matters. Being forced into the road isn't safe and no-one should be put in that position. This is a clear reminder that promises mean nothing without action.
