Urgent campaign action : European bus and coach regulations

The European Parliament is proposing new regulations which would ensure a right to accessible travel information and make disability awareness training mandatory for all bus drivers and terminal staff, here in the UK and abroad. However,  some governments, including the UK government, are not supportive and do not want new rights to apply to local bus and coach services. We need to make sure our Ministers understand that the proposed regulations are urgently needed to deliver equal access to transport for disabled people - and they should apply to all bus and coach transport in the UK.

Final negotiations are due to start this September, so please act now by sending a personalised email to your MP in three easy steps. It will only take a few minutes and could make all the difference at this final stage of the campaign.
