Enabled Youth Disability Network has recently come to the Barossa region, and one of the key topics raised by young people has been the challenges of accessing public transport.

We’ve created a short survey for young people aged 16–30 living with disability to share their experiences, what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change.
