Public Consultation on moving to a Wheelchair Accessible Licensed Bus Sector

Public Consultation on moving to a Wheelchair Accessible Licensed Bus Sector

The National Transport Authority (NTA) is carrying out a public consultation on ways to support the transition to a wheelchair accessible licensed bus and coach sector. The commercial bus and coach sector provides public transport services under licence from the National Transport Authority and in 2013 it represented about 7% of all public transport journeys in the State. The responses to this consultation paper will assist the Authority in carrying out its regulatory role in the provision of licensed public transport services by commercial bus and coach operators.

Details of some of the issues involved in achieving progress towards wheelchair accessibility in the licensed bus sector are available in the issue paper below.
