Association of Transport Co-ordinating Officers – PRINTED PUBLIC TRANSPORT INFORMATION 2003

Description

This 23-page “Code of Good Practice,” titled “Printed Public Transport Information,” was meticulously developed by the ATCO Information & Ticketing Sub-Committee in collaboration with leading industry bodies including CPT, ATOC, DPTAC, and LTUC. Originally published in September 2002 and revised in May 2003, this document holds significant authority, explicitly endorsed by DPTAC as an update to their 1996 guidelines. It provides crucial, trustworthy advice for local transport authorities and operators on producing high-standard printed information, primarily for bus and tram services, while its principles are widely applicable. The guide is presented in a clean, text-focused PDF format, with minimal imagery beyond its cover logo and two illustrative timetable samples, emphasizing its detailed, practical content over visual embellishment. Its purpose is to assist in fulfilling statutory duties under the Transport Act 2000 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, making it an indispensable resource for enhancing passenger transport accessibility and clarity.
