Air pollution is harmful to everyone, but disabled people are disproportionately affected, especially if we live in cities. Last week we talked to Social Market Foundation and Refresh Britain about the impact of pollution on us, and what needs to change.

So great to be part of this event, striving for accessible transport!
We're really delighted with how the opening portion of our annual conference has gone, thanks to all attendees and our sponsors Arcadis and SLR Consulting. See https://lnkd.in/egz7nHAa for our later sessions today, do come along. Chair of CoMoUK Matthew Clark reminded us how shared transport got going in anger in the UK, alongside the formation of CoMoUK 25 years ago. The recording will be available later this week on our website. Local Transport Minister from Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom Simon Lightwood welcomed everyone via video and it was great to hear him say that "shared mobility is central to achieving [our] goals". We are grateful to Emma Vogelmann of Transport for All for then chairing our first session (on accessibility and widening participation) so brilliantly. We heard from our own Antonia Charlton presented on our work on disabled people and shared micromobility alongside RiDC (Research Institute for Disabled Consumers) and our work on disabled people and car clubs alongside TRL where we are looking at how operators can innovate, what Government can do and what the potential is for improvements across communications and vehicles. Next was Fiona Duenyas from Lime with news of their work with London Sight Loss Councils and the RNIB. They have introduced new vehicles (sadly not yet in the UK, due to regulations) - their seated e-scooter, the LimeGlider and LimeBike. Initial data shows the seated e-scooter boosting confidence and attracting more female first-time riders. They have also been experimenting with LimeAssist, a delivery service for a mobility scooter-like device. Dami Adebayo from The Routing Company (TRC) presented on 'One Transit', their concept to bring together dial a ride, DDRT and fixed bus routes, which they have running in parts of the US with success, doubling on-demand ridership in less than a year in one scheme. He posed the question as to whether what was good enough for main legislation in the 1980s (the Transport Act 1985) is still good enough today. Hannah Wilson and Natalia Pérez-Bobadilla from Shared-Use Mobility Center then presented on their work alongside Living Cities and Communities on mobility hubs for women and caregivers, finding women were facing higher risks of harassment and were making shorter, more frequent journeys that were likely to be outside of peak hours. After a lively Q and A we drew to a close ahead of our next session on reimagining the kerbside.
