and investment priorities to deliver an inclusive transport system.</p><p><em> </em></p><p>Access
to Work is a publicly funded employment support programme that aims to help more disabled
people start, or stay in, work. It can provide practical and financial support for
people who have a disability or long term physical or mental health condition. The

(JCP). Support for disabled workers can include travel to work and travel within work
as well as specialised aids, equipment and support workers.</p>
