The DFID-funded High Volume Transport Programme (HVT) is hosting a webinar to explore the challenges of a post-COVID world for persons with disabilities.
With some countries beginning to emerge from lockdown and others still in the grip of the pandemic, both immediate barriers to travel and the gradual relaxation of restrictions raise significant issues about personal freedom and ability to move about.
For people with disabilities, requirements such as wearing face masks and social distancing both in the pedestrian environment and on public transport can be challenging and sometimes impossible to meet.
The Post-COVID mobility for people with disabilities webinar, to held on July 23 at 13:00BST, will explore the impact of these issues around the world to understand the lived experience of people with disabilities and explore possible solutions both for the immediate problems and for the longer-term, combining technology with policy and practice.
