National Accessible Transport Steering Committee

The National Accessible Transport Steering Committee (Steering Committee), established by the Infrastructure and Transport Senior Officials' Committee, oversees the National Accessible Transport Taskforce (the Taskforce) and ensures that a national perspective is incorporated into the work of the Taskforce as it reforms the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (Transport Standards). Membership includes the disability community, jurisdictions, the Australian Human Right Commission and Attorney-General’s Department. The Steering Committee reports to the Transport and Infrastructure Senior Officials' Committee. The reforms to the Transport Standards are being jointly led by the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments. Secretariat for the Steering Committee is provided by the Commonwealth.
