The IMM recommends that the Government:
57. Urgently review and extend investment in subsidised taxi and other travel schemes for disabled people unable to access public transport so they can secure consistent and transferable 24/7 access to a range of transport options nationwide.
58. Urge local government to embed accessibility requirements within its procurement processes for public transport so that disabled people have equitable access to public transport.
59. Require that all taxi fleets must have all, or at least a substantial proportion of, vehicles that are wheelchair accessible, and ensure those vehicles are available in proportion to the general fleet.
60. Set expectation and implementation targets for territorial authorities to ensure that their roads, transport infrastructure, and pedestrian routes are constructed, retrofitted, and maintained to meet accessibility standards;
61. Equalise the funding for mobility training and equipment for all disabled people, regardless of the cause of impairment, thus removing the difference between Ministry of Health and Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) clients.
62. Provide additional investment into research and development of mobility aids, and develop or import innovative mobility aids.
