RTIG Inform - Accessible Information Regulations & Grant Webinar (May 3rd)

In March 2023 the Department for Transport published a new statutory instrument before Parliament to introduce rules that will require almost every local bus or coach service to provide audible announcements and visual displays identifying the route and direction, each upcoming stop, and the beginning of any diversions.

New vehicles need to comply already, but the first tranche of existing vehicles need to comply from October 2024.

The government has allocated £4.65m to support smaller operators to comply with the Regulations, RTIG have been asked to manage the grant on behalf of the Department for Transport.

On Monday 8th April applications for grants to help with the cost of meeting the accessible information regulations opened.

In this webinar RTIG will explore:

  • What do the regulations say?

  • What can you do to comply?

  • Where would you turn to for help and information?

  • Eligability for the grant and how to apply

  • Q&A
