Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee

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

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

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

The committee was considered for abolition with a successor organisation taking over its work. A consultation was held in 2012 with responses from organisations such as the Office of Road and Rail; however the result was not published by the committee.

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