British-Irish Council – Annual Report – 2012
A cross-cutting barrier identified by the BIC Accessible Transport subgroup was the
lack of information available to disabled people about accessible travel in other Member
Administrations. Where that information did it exist it was not in a common format
or clear. A number of disability advisory groups confirmed the value of improving this
situation for disabled people. It resulted in the development of common web-pages
to direct disabled people to existing information on accessible travel and allowed BIC
Member Administrations to review their own provision of such information.
The template used and indicated below brings together common headings and symbols
for use throughout BIC Member Administrations when displaying information about
accessible transport online. An important element of the development of the web based
travel information has been the connections to other Member Administrations to help
facilitate easier travel across these islands.

travel information for people with mobility difficulties.
