TRANSPORT FOR ALL - TIME TO MAKE OUR PUBLIC SERVICES ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE!

We need your help! 

In the run up to the 2022 state election please help us call on all candidates to gain their urgent support for a universally accessible Victorian public transport system. 

Take action here!

We know that people all over Victoria are beyond frustrated with the barriers they face accessing public transport every day - including people with disabilities, our seniors, people with injuries, parents with prams or other physical requirements. 

Victoria is way behind on implementing the Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002, which states that all public transport infrastructure should be 100% accessible by the end of 2022. Every member of our community deserves full access to our public services, exclusion is not an option. 

The good news is our next government can deal with this issue once and for all! 

If you know public transport is unreliable, or inaccessible - trams, trains, buses, cabs - please write to your MP and your local candidates now and let them know.
