About this event
Providing safe and accessible designs requires much more than compliance with design standards. Among an array of challenges are a range of jurisdictional issues, often between the local authority and the transport agency. In this webinar we will seek to identify some of these and how they lead to practical issues such as breaks in a route that make a journey difficult and how an accessibility audit can be a useful tool to achieve optimum outcomes.
Our speakers will examine how these audits can be used to:
- successfully achieve agreement on jurisdictional issues
- improve understanding of the functional use of spaces by people with a disability
- identify any gaps
There will also be a guided Q&A session using real life examples.
This webinar has been developed by the the Accessible Design Task Group set up under the AITPM Inclusive Mobility Program. AITPM seeks to increase discussion on the challenges and opportunities to create positive action in our transport community.
Registrations close Wednesday 2 October 2024
