Where can I find guidance on how to make my buses and coaches comply with accessibility regulations?
The regulations that govern access to service buses and coached are known as the Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations 2000 (PSVAR). The regulations apply to all new buses and coaches introduced into service since 31 December 2000 with a capacity of more than 22 passengers and used on local or scheduled services. We have published guidance for vehicle manufacturers and operators to assist in meeting the regulations. Please note, however, that the guidance does not replace nor does it qualify the regulations in any way, and in every case reference should be made to the relevant provisions of the PSVAR themselves to determine the precise extent of the legal requirements.
