A report commissioned by @Motability finds that just 10% of disabled people in the UK have used shared #micromobility services, but more than half believe they could potentially improve their lives. Our team were delighted to be part of this important project, alongside the Foundation and CoMoUK. The research has highlighted the changes needed to realise the potential that inclusive shared micromobility services could have for disabled people. #EScooters #EBikes #AccessibleTransport #AccessibleTravel

#AutomatedTransport has the potential to make a significant difference to disabled people's lives but only if it's developed with their involvement. This is why @Motability funded us, alongside TRL, to carry out award-winning research into the challenges and opportunities automated transport presents. #InclusiveTravel #AccessibleTransport

There's a wealth of information available about making transport accessible. One reason so little of it is used could be because of the wide range of organisations it comes from. @NCAT_UK, of which we are part, has brought it all together in the Resource Collection, a live, open source, searchable database. #TransportPlanning #TransportDesign #AccessibleTransport #Accessibility #InclusiveTravel
