Transport Campaign

Main Aims

  • We want an inclusive and accessible public transport system across Yorkshire and Humber. This means providing a service that caters to all young people, regardless of their physical abilities, neurodivergent, or socioeconomic background. Our aim is to campaign for public transport designed to accommodate everyone. For example, we advocate for at least two wheelchair spaces on buses and affordable fares for all.

  • We want to raise awareness of the jobs available in the transport industry, from policy-making to engineering. Public transport providers have been struggling to recruit young people. We believe that by working with them, we can help build the next generation of people working in the sector.

  • Our campaign is focused on ensuring that people with disabilities or neurodivergence are entitled to the disability bus pass.
