Accessibility and Public Transport Research at UCL
Accessibility and Community-CEntred Public Transport (ACCEPT)
Funding
DETR
Description
This work investigated the possibilities thrown up by making public transport
systems really accessible. Small networks, using small accessible vehicles
on a high frequency service could offer an easy-to-use alternative to the
private car for local trips. Interchange with the conventional public transport
system would then facilitate longer trips. This has implications for ownership,
regulation, competition and so on which will be investigated in this project.
ACCEPT examines this issue in both urban and rural areas, using the case
of Powys County Council as an example.
