Implementation and evaluation

We will measure how embedded the Strategic Framework’s Principles are in the planning and decision-making process across DTP (for example the principle that ‘accessibility is built-in, not bolted-on’). This will include surveying DTP staff to ask about awareness of the principles, test how well they are understood and perceptions of how well DTP practices align with the principles.

We will assess whether the transport network is accessible to people with disability. This measure involves calculating the percentage of trips taken across Victoria that can be made without encountering major accessibility issues. We will track this measure over time.

We will use this measure to identify locations or regions where trips encounter major accessibility issues more often than average to provide an indicator of how evenly accessible trips are spread across the state.

We will conduct regular surveys to gather feedback from people with disability about their experiences with the transport system. This survey will assess how confident they feel using transport, whether they feel valued, and how easy the transport system is to use. It will aim to test how well different elements of the transport system (for example modes or geographic regions) are delivering these objectives.

We will report on the number of improvements made to the transport system in line with their impact on accessibility.
