This document analyzes how transport policy supports disabled people's travel needs based on census and other data. It first asks what is known and unknown about how disabled people travel to work from census data that may not fully capture their travel modes. It then reviews how transport policy has facilitated or limited disabled travelers' chosen methods. The document concludes with recommendations to improve future transport policy inclusiveness.

18. Title: Is transport policy supportive of how disabled people travel?
Author: Kevin Hickman
Using as a starting point a newly commissioned table ONS (2014) this paper
asks: What do we know, and not know, about how disabled people travel to work?
Does the language being used to define travel choices, such as ‘bicycle’ and ‘on
foot’, allow disabled people to provide accurate answers? How does the census
data compare to other sources of data used by Papworth Trust [2] to assess how
disabled people travel?
Based on the available data the paper goes on to review how transport policy and
practice has supported disabled people to use their chosen methods of travel,
explores the limitations of current policy and practice, and concludes with
recommendations for future transport policy.
