Everyone should have the freedom to travel. For many disabled people in the UK, that's not our reality.

Transport for All exists to break down barriers, so we can all make the journeys we want to, easily and confidently. Learn more on our website: bit.ly/4s5cCXY

Thank you @UKDisHistHub for hosting us last night. It was great to share some of the stories behind disabled people’s campaigns for transport access. We’re really proud to be part of the community preserving and celebrating them.
