October was super busy! We:
- Launched #UnlockTransportAccess
- Spoke to the press about access fails in Sheffield, Somerset, East Anglia and Kent
- Joined an event at Labour conference about driverless cars
- Told the Chancellor why Motability matters

Among other things!

Disabled people don’t just exist off-peak. Our freedom to travel shouldn’t either.

Systems are only inclusive when shaped by the people who use them.

We are Disabled people asking others like us what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to change in concessions schemes.

Red textured background with a quote on yellow electrical tape. It reads "It makes your anxious. And it just means that you're less likely to go out and do things that you might otherwise." The quote is from a survey participant and they are talking about Blue Badges and Disabled parking bays. Bold text reading #UnlockTransportAccess is on yellow tape underneath

Some impairments aren’t visible, but they can still make travelling harder. That’s when Blue Badges and Disabled Bus Passes should be there to help.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay we're calling for a concessions system that includes everyone. Let's #UnlockTransportAccess together.

We all rely on transport. To work, do the school run, access healthcare and education, see family and friends. But Disabled people are locked out by a concessions system not fit for purpose.

A bright yellowy green background with orange electrical tape. The number 38% is on the tape in bold black numbers, and a series of orange arrows point to it. The text beneath reads Only 38% of disabled people who are eligible have a Blue Badge

A Blue Badge is more than a parking permit. It’s a lifeline for independence and can be life changing. But only 38% of eligible disabled people have one. Find out more: https://bit.ly/4pLFjb4
