British Sign Language: national plan 2023 to 2029 - easy read
Sets out a range of government actions to tackle barriers faced by British Sign Language (BSL) users to help make Scotland the best place in the world for BSL users to live, work, visit and learn.
Transport
Transport Scotland’s Accessible Travel Framework for Scotland supports disabled people’s rights by improving access to travel.
BSL users, particularly those who are deaf and deafblind, should have access to the right information at the right time to make public transport accessible for them.
Our long-term goal
BSL users will have safe, fair and inclusive access to public transport and the systems that support all transport use in Scotland.
Actions
We will:
38. Work with Transport Scotland, using the principles of the Accessible Travel Framework, to make transport services better for BSL users.
39. Work with Scotland’s rail, ferry, air and bus operators to make public transport more accessible for BSL users.
