The London Assembly Transport Committee is investigating the experiences of people with a sensory impairment using the London transport network.
Transport for London and other providers in the capital have a programme of initiatives, including improving accessibility of stations, bus stops and the pedestrian environment, providing audio and visual information, assisting travellers, travel mentoring and working with partners to exploit new technologies.
This video explains the initiative
The Committee wants to hear from people with a sensory impairment and their representative organisations about the impact of accessibility initiatives and any ongoing challenges. The Committee would particularly like to know:
- What are the current challenges for people with a sensory impairment in using the transport network and pedestrian environment in London?
- How well do Transport for London, boroughs and providers of rail or bus services support people with a sensory impairment to access the transport network?
- How could Transport for London and other providers improve the accessibility of the transport network for people with a sensory impairment, including supporting independent, as well as assisted, travel?
