I had an opportunity to have a meeting arranged with transport safety offices for the West Midlands region. I was invited and attended a health and safety training meeting arranged by Transport for West Midlands (the transport authority section of the West Midlands combined authority, the devolved authority administered by the mayor of the West Midlands) This involves a collection of transport safety officers from different areas of the metropolitan west midlands county. As an autistic person and a neurodivergent, I have expressed my experiences when navigating through transport facilities and services. This includes packed environments, late hours and passenger behaviour. I have also expressed my experience related to transport officials and staff when accessing services and the challenges that can occur. I have also informed the attendees of my awareness project "Zero Toxic" project against prejudice, bullying, discrimination and hatred. Combining my experiences and my "Zero Toxic" project I share several suggestions to be considered. After the meeting ended a comment was made about further participation with transport safety staff with transport for West Midlands in the future. Find out more of the Zero Toxic project by following the links below Read the project information by visiting the Combined project page Visit the Zero Toxic project via the Plus Value Awareness Website I am available to share my lived experience with your organisation or business which enables better understanding and inclusively.
