Creative Solutions to Increase Access

Accessible information is a service, especially during disruption

Hook

When service changes, inaccessible information can leave a passenger stranded.

What the draft proposes

Information cannot be online-only; accessible formats, WCAG AA online services, next-stop information and varied disruption information are proposed.

Why it matters

Information lets people plan independently and recover when plans change.

What providers can do now

Run a disruption simulation using screen readers, captions, large print, phone assistance and plain language.

Discussion prompt

Would your disruption process work if a passenger cannot see the screen or use the app?

CTA

Develop an accessible passenger-information plan.
