Transport providers

Transport providers who back #su4sd commit to encouraging passengers to consider the needs of others in their communication. You will know the best way to do this for your passengers but examples could include:

• Posters and signage, both on public transport and at stations
• Verbal messaging on station and train announcements
• Creating more/protecting priority seats, but also highlighting that even if you’re not sat in a priority seat, someone could still need your seat
• Messages on digital advertisements/communications, and across social media
