Accessible transport infrastructure ensures people of all ages and abilities can travel safely, independently and with dignity.
Daniel's Access Consulting qualification complements his experience in transport planning and infrastructure by bringing an accessibility-focused perspective to the planning, design, assessment and improvement of public spaces and transport infrastructure. This means looking beyond minimum compliance and considering the entire passenger journey as people move and interact through spaces.
Good accessible design considers the diverse needs of people with disability, older people, families with children, people with temporary injuries and anyone who may experience difficulty navigating the transport environment.
