It's #WorldCarFreeDay! 71% of disabled people want to use more sustainable modes of travel, but needless barriers like overcrowding, missing announcements and a lack of lifts make it harder. It's time public transport was accessible, so we can all make choices about how we travel
71% of disabled people want to use more sustainable modes of transport but face barriers to this. The numbers 71% are written in thick black tape on a bright yellow banner, with yellow arrows pointing to the figures

It's not just people with low/no income - people in insecure work, no matter how well paid, struggle to access Cycle to Work as you need a certain period left on your contract to access it.

It's not often I drive for work... but today was an exception! The wonderful team at SUEZ UK Campground recycling centre have been saving scooters from the tip for us to upcycle as part of our summer scooter project with Gateshead Council.

The scooters will be fixed up by a Sustrans team at Green Heart Collective on Gateshead high street and redistributed to schools and families at the start of the school year.

We've had MPs come and speak to pupils about their journeys, councillors and cabinet members engage with School Streets, and some brilliant local and national media coverage.

Very sad for this project to come from an end, and these schools and the children and families we've worked with will always hold a very special place in my heart. But I (and our office!) am still in Newcastle so not far if anyone ever wants to chat.
