Inclusive Transport- National Inclusion Week Transport Talks

In support of National Inclusion Week, we bring to you our latest podcast ‘Inclusive Transport’. Featuring Michael Barratt, Construction Advisory and Innovations Manager at TFL; Simone West Inclusive Design Advisor within the Diversity and Inclusion team at TFL; and Ester Leighton from the Independent Disability Advisory Group.

During this podcast we discuss who needs to be considered when designing inclusive transport. From practical solutions such as signage to the needs of disabled people and assuming that everyone with the same disability will use transport systems in the same way. We also consider what professional transport bodies need to do to make transport more inclusive, including understanding how to interpret standards and how to effectively engage people in inclusive design.

Finally, we highlight the benefits that can be achieved when transport is truly inclusive, including projects being more future-proof, bringing increased value for money, and ultimately, delivers the best possible user experience.
