The meeting altogether was our very first time. It’s good to get to know each other. We did inform everyone of a big picture in regard to the ongoing accessibility problems.
The Director, Deputy Director, and all members of the DRT were such a group of active guys. Everyone actively participated during the discussion, provided informative insight, and showed a willingness to solve the problems accordingly to the regulations and inclusiveness.
This integral meeting with several parties was far from surprising. Our groups of PWDs have always engaged with the government. The DRT’s current team was indeed the former team from the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP), lead by Khun Lee.
We have worked together, made many field surveys, and exchanged thoughts along the way. This is the policy of the Minister of Transport, Mr. Ar-khom Term-pit-ta-ya-pai-sith, who laid the foundation of an inclusive work environment. His compassion for everyone is highly respected.
It’s delightful, and a wonderful scene, to see the cooperation in solving a certain issue between the citizen and government sector. I believe that in the foreseeable future the concept of universal design would be perfectly applied to all types of transport networks, of which the beneficiary would be no one but every one of us.
You have my support!
