The Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee (also known as "DPTAC") is an expert committee established by the Transport Act 1985,[2] to provide advice to the government on the transport needs of disabled people.[3]

Membership of the DPTAC is mostly, but not exclusively, disabled people.[4]

Work

The committee has advised the government on several measures, including requesting additional finance for works to rail access[5] and work on accessibility for users of taxi services[6]

During the coronavirus pandemic, the DPTAC issued guidance regarding the use of face coverings, specifically on the identification of exemptions to the requirements.[7]
