Development and Pilot of Public Transport Accessibility Audit

The purpose of this project was to review international best practice for auditing/ monitoring public transport (PT) accessibility and to develop and pilot a New Zealand-specific PT accessibility audit methodology. In consultation with key stakeholders, we created the framework and methodology for the accessibility audit and report card, including auditor instructions for completing the audit and a 'best practice' guide for public transport accessibility. The accessibility audit and report card was piloted in Greater Wellington region. Following the trial, the audit and report card; auditor instructions; and best practice guide were modified and finalised and a project report prepared. The accessibility audit and report card, best practice guide, and the public transport accessibility audit report should be available in early 2010.
