Australian Government response to the 2022 Review of the Transport Standards

Date published:

 

More than 1,000 people participated in the fourth statutory review (2022 Review) of the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (Transport Standards). Public consultation for the 2022 Review was open from 22 December 2022 to 30 June 2023. The experiences shared through consultations, including from people with disability, disability advocacy groups, public transport operators and providers, and state, territory and local governments, provide invaluable insights into the efficiency and effectiveness of the Transport Standards in supporting accessible public transport networks across Australia, including areas requiring future attention. The Australian Government thanks everyone who engaged in the consultation process and contributed to the 2022 Review.
