Our latest report on disability access for public transport and public spaces is available 'Getting Nowhere'
Public transport and public spaces are still so difficult and dangerous to access for people with disabilities. But why?
Watch our campaign video
Did you know Ireland has no legal regulations around public transport access for people with physical disabilities? Watch our videos to find out more.
We’ve published a full review of Ireland’s approach to accessible public transport.
What we know:
- There’s approx. 12 current government policies guiding public transport infrastructure strategic projects in Ireland.
- The Department of Transport and National Transport Authority do not have any national, legally binding standards for disability access within these 12 public transport infrastructure projects.
- National public transport infrastructure strategies are chaotic and haphazard when it comes to disability access.
- Government policies for public transport do not provide clear guidance and standards for planners and developers.

We want National Transport Accessibility Regulations in Ireland. Let’s Make Accessibility Mandatory.
In the same way infrastructure projects in Ireland are designed to meet environmental regulations, health & safety regulations etc. we need accessibility regulations for public transport and public spaces.
What do we want?
- We want National Transport Accessibility Regulations in Ireland
- We want transport accessibility regulations that were negotiated by people with disabilities so that transport services and public spaces are designed and built to be accessible.
