Issue

There was strong support for an Accessibility Standard and a good number of suggestions for what this could include.

Response

Given the strong support, the final version of the Strategic Approach will confirm this commitment and set out, in broad terms, how and when this will be developed. We have had an initial discussion with MACS and will be working together on this alongside operators, local authorities and other partners, such as Scottish Tourism Alliance, to deliver improved travel by ferry for all people in Scotland, unlock long term sustainable economic development for island communities and delivery towards wider Scotland’s policies.
