I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Mobility
devices come in many shapes and forms. Transperth is aware of 10 very regular
users of mobility devices on the Armadale line and Transperth's special
assistance area is engaging with those passengers. Transperth's 1800 800 022 special assistance helpline will also
be available for anyone requiring assistance during the Armadale line
closure.
(2) The Metronet
access and inclusion reference group is made up of people or organisations with
an understanding of matters impacting people
with disabilities or mobility issues and provides input into the planning,
design and useability of the various projects delivered by Metronet. Transperth
has directly engaged with this group on the impact of the Armadale line closure
and the strategies being put in place to assist all passengers.
