I hope this blog entry will help to spread the word and contribute to the development of a more inclusive society.<br />When people have a problem, more often than not, they know what is necessary to solve it but just need some help to get it solved so it is good practice to ask people what the problems are and what they need to fix them. Sadly, access to funding is often the barrier but do not underestimate the political will that is required too.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-81500261123285557682015-04-16T10:52:41.017+09:302015-04-16T10:52:41.017+09:30Thanks for the feedback, Meredith. You would be q...Thanks for the feedback, Meredith. You would be quite familiar with these issues then; and (with an indignant tone) so the government *should* ask its constituents! The government and its public servants need to remember that their purpose is to do just that - serve the public!<br />For a long time, I wanted to know how these issues were addressed in other countries (and still do want to know). It is a lot easier to draw upon the experiences of other transport systems than to try and "reinvent the wheel" from scratch. When lobbying governments for change, it helps because they cannot say it can't be done if it is already being done somewhere else! I hope my post can go a little way towards encouraging others to seek equity for people with disabilities.<br />What accessible transport services do you have in your region, Meredith?Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-57597734447730549212015-04-14T19:46:56.087+09:302015-04-14T19:46:56.087+09:30A wonderful post which a lot of people should read...A wonderful post which a lot of people should read to understand!!<br /><br />Take care<br />Anne (Crochet Between Worlds)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04245498764155066221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-71865561660138547392015-04-12T21:55:54.012+09:302015-04-12T21:55:54.012+09:30Fascinating post today.

I love that the government has asked and actually listened to make improvements.<br />Hugs,<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.com
