Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the licensing of the Bus and Coach sector under the Public Transport Regulation Act 2009. The NTA recently finalised a report on Transitioning to a Wheelchair Accessible Licensed Bus Sector and submitted it to me. The recommendations of the report are currently being considered by my Department.
