REQUEST BY HANDICAPPED BEING CONSIDERED *****
CONSIDERATION WOULD BE GIVEN TO THE QUESTION OF ALLOWING HANDICAPPED PEOPLE TO BOARD AND ALIGHT FROM PUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLES IN RESTRICTED AREAS, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY (MONDAY).
HE WAS COMMENTING ON PRESS REPORTS THAT A GROUP OF PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED PEOPLE WOULD USE THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR CAMPAIGN FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
THE SPOKESMAN EMPHASISED THAT THE PROPOSAL WAS NOT A NEW ONE, AS IT HAD BEEN CONSIDERED IN 1983, BUT REJECTED ON THE GROUNDS OF SAFETY AND IMPRACTICABILITY,
THE ISSUE WOULD ALSO BE RAISED AT THE NEXT MEETING OF THE ACCESS AND TRANSPORT SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE REHABILITATION DEVELOPMENT CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE, HE ADDED.
HE NOTED THAT THE COMMITTEE WAS ALREADY CONSIDERING SEVERAL OTHER OPTIONS FOR IMPROVING TRANSPORT FOR THE HANDICAPPED, INCLUDING A MAXI-TAXI SCHEME, A PILOT TAXI-VOUCHER SCHEME AND EXTENSION OF REHABUS.
