Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

I understand that the National Transport Authority (NTA) is still considering the outcome of the public consultation on Transitioning to a Wheelchair Accessible Licensed Bus Sector.  The Authority is exploring various options for wheelchair accessible coaches arising from the public consultation process and a further period of time is required to finalise the report and its recommendations.
