Improved Independent Mobility

We hope that our design will encourage increased mobility of marginalised populations. Our proposal includes enhanced price and destination brackets for blue badge holders and over 70s. By creating a scheme of public access to CAVs, we are refraining from “giving people with options more options” and rather encouraging overall mobility. [1]
