I like this & it's worth a read. My top two findings: embedding inclusive design in professional development & linking standards to measurable impacts.

Yesterday we launched our new report: En route to inclusive public transport 🚎 @RuthCadbury MP, Transport Select Committee Chair, led the discussion. Too many passengers in the UK still face daily barriers to travel, particularly disabled and neurodivergent people, older travellers and families with young children. Our findings show a major gap: there is no whole system approach to accessibility. Fragmented data, a complex policy landscape and limited inclusive design expertise are holding back progress. 📃 Read our full report here: imeche.org/policy-and-press/…

Self-driving cars could have a massive change on our transport system. But to really unlock change, the batteries that drive them will have to change too. My latest for @IMechE imeche.org/news/news-article…

Great to celebrate #INWED25 at @IMechE and speak with Assystem and the Women & Work APPG about the future of #WomenInSTEM. Representation is vital to tackling the biggest challenges we face - yet barriers persist. We must break them down to build a fairer, more innovative future.
