What the notice says

The Combined Authority is looking to appoint an independent organisation to recruit, manage and facilitate a new Accessibility Design Reference Group (ADRG). The ADRG membership will consist of individuals with lived experience of disabilities, long-term health conditions, including both physical and non-physical impairments, and other accessibility barriers. The group's primary purpose is to leverage the lived experience of members to constructively give views on barriers to accessing transport across all modes and act as scheme design reference support. By doing so, members will help identify and remove barriers to transport across West Yorkshire, helping to make our network work for everyone.
