Very serious decisions are made and huge amounts of public finance are spent on the procurement of public transport vehicles. What training or continuing professional development, CPD, do people get on accessibility awareness, disability equity training and understanding? At this committee, we are learning every week. Being a member of the committee means that there is a steep learning curve when it comes to the various needs of people with disabilities. What training do the people making these final decisions have? Is there someone with lived experience supporting the decision-making or at the decision-making table? The question is again for both bodies.
