The Moving Barriers Program champions for accessible public transport systems in Kenya through;
-Creating awareness on disability inclusion practices among the PSV owners, operators and staff.
-Addressing Policy Gaps towards realizing inclusive public transport for older persons and women with disabilities.
-Developing and rolling out advocacy campaigns amplifying People With Disabilities’ voices as public transportation users.
-Empowering users with disabilities to become active and informed participants that will advocate for inclusive transport modes.

The moving barriers report documents specific vulnerabilities of women with disabilities and older persons while accessing public transport. The report elaborates on their subjective experiences and voices and recommends interventions to promote accessible public transport in Kenya.

The Public Transport Resource Guide contains detailed guidelines on best practices while interacting with persons with disabilities in public transport, processes and pointers to promote disability inclusion in public transport systems.
