The Scottish Accessible Transport Alliance (SATA) is an organisation which brings together individuals and groups with an interest in improving transport services for disabled people in Scotland, either as users, providers or service planners.What is the aim of SATA?
The aim of SATA is to work for the provision of accessible transport as a basic right for all people. This includes working not only for the provision of vehicles which are accessible but also for the provision of an integrated system of public transport, affordable services, accessible information, reasonable costs and appropriate facilities.How do we achieve our aim?
SATA works by enabling groups and individuals to share information about current developments in transport, as well as carrying out research and identifying gaps in service provision. This allows SATA to press for changes to the transport system. Regular meetings are held where transport providers and users discuss policy and service issues and identify action to be taken.What are the benefits of joining SATA?
As a member of SATA, you will receive regular information updates on transport issues, as well as the agenda and papers for meetings and invitations to participate in any consultation exercises which are undertaken. It is an ideal means of making your voice heard in the development of accessible transport.How do you join?
Membership of SATA is free, and is open to all statutory and voluntary organisations who support the aims. We have members of all ages and backgrounds from a wide range of both statutory and voluntary organisations. New members are always welcome: please contact us for a membership form.
