Transport—accessibility
(Question No 2004)
Ms Bresnan asked the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, upon notice, on 14 February 2012:
Can the Minister provide the most recent data on the ACT’s level of compliance with the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport relating to vehicles and infrastructure.
Ms Gallagher: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
There are approximately 3000 bus stops in the ACT and 886 (i.e. 30%) of these bus stops were found to meet compliance standards in 2011. TAMS is committed, through its capital works program, to be 55% compliant by December 2012; 90% by 2017 and 100% by 2022.
As at 31 January 2012, ACTION has 210 buses or 49.07% of its in-service fleet that are compliant, with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).
ACTION is on target to meet the December 2012 target of 55% of the in-service fleet being DDA compliant.
