so that all disabled people can make the journeys they choose.
We want to find out three things:
1. What problems do people with a learning disability face when using public transport?
2. How do these problems impact people’s wellbeing, social life and ability to work?
3. What changes can be made to make public transport better?
To find out how people with a learning disability feel, we will:
1. Listen to their stories about using public transport.
2. Ask people to film themselves using public transport.
3. Run a
survey
A survey is when someone asks you to answer some questions.
about public transport.
4. Run
focus groups
Where a group of people meet to talk about a topic, and a researcher asks them some questions.
about public transport.

You can fill in the survey from Monday 7 October to Friday 6 December 2024.
The survey has questions about you, public transport, wellbeing and work.
