Accessible Travel Policies (ATPs) decision letters

Once we have given our approval to an Accessible Travel Policy (ATP), we will publish a decision letter. The letter will summarise any issues that were raised during the approval process, note areas of good practice or highlight areas where we feel a licence holder should particularly seek to improve its practices.

Operators are required to review their ATP annually from the date of approval, or more frequently to ensure that they are as up-to-date as possible where there is a change in policy or procedure. Licence holders are still required to confirm to us that they have conducted an annual review, and that there has been no material change (if this is the case). If an operator is proposing significant or material changes to their ATP, ORR will undertake a review and approve the revised documents. Significant or material changes are where policy or procedure changes may have a significant impact, positive or negative, on a number of passengers

ORR can also require the licence holder to carry out a review of their ATP or any part of it or the manner in which it has been implemented, with a view to determining whether any change should be made to it.
