Overview

Who we are

The Mobility and Access Committee for Scotland (MACS) is an advisory body established in 2002. We are dedicated to ensuring that the transport needs of disabled people are met across Scotland.

Our mission 

Our mission is to advocate for accessible, inclusive, and barrier-free transport systems that enable disabled people to travel independently and confidently.

Our vision

We envision a Scotland where disabled people can enjoy seamless, door-to-door journeys, contributing to their full participation in society.

What we do

  • Advise Scottish Ministers - We provide expert advice on policies, legislation, and practices that impact the travel experiences of disabled people.
  • Promote awareness - We raise awareness about the importance of accessible transport and the challenges faced by disabled travellers.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders - We work closely with transport providers, planners, and other organisations to improve accessibility.
  • Monitor and evaluate - We assess the effectiveness of transport services and advocate for continuous improvements.

Our impact

Since our inception, MACS has played a crucial role in shaping transport policies and practices, ensuring that the voices of disabled people are heard and their needs are prioritised.
