A draft framework has proposed sweeping changes to transport systems to make them more accessible for persons with disabilities, including mandatory wheelchair space, step-free toilets at stations, level boarding ramps, and trained staff.

The Indian government is proposing changes to enhance transportation accessibility for people with disabilities, as outlined in a draft notification from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Key proposals include the mandatory installation of ramps and wheelchair-accessible areas in buses and other public transport vehicles. These changes aim to comply with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and the Harmonised Guidelines and Space Standards for Universal Accessibility in India, 2021. The draft also suggests modifications to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, to ensure that new vehicles meet these accessibility standards. Public feedback on these proposed amendments is being sought until August 8, 2023.
