This webinar explores how changes to the Total Mobility Scheme (TMS) during a cost-of-living crisis impacts disabled people in Aotearoa.
Access Matters Aotearoa will bring together disabled people, transport providers, policymakers, service organisations, and community representatives to explore the real-world impacts of these challenges. The discussion will examine issues such as changes to the TMS, increasing fuel and transport costs, and the effects these have on everyday life, employment opportunities, healthcare access, and social connection.
