View answerMy Department's Public Transport Accessibility Work Programme contains actions from a range of strategies, including the National Positive Ageing Strategy, which assist in progressively making public transport more accessible for disabled people, persons with disabilities, persons with reduced mobility and older people.
Since 2019, my Department has published an 'End of Year Statement' which summaries progress on an annual basis to make public transport more accessible, in line with relevant national and international policies and strategies, including action 1.5 of the National Positive Ageing Strategy. Previous End of Year Statements can be found at https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/ed138c-work-programme/
The 'End of Year statement for 2023' will be published shortly at the same location.
