Seeing streets differently
Welcome to RNIB's guide on how you can make a meaningful impact in the lives of people with sight loss through our Seeing Streets Differently initiative.
Getting Around: What blind and partially sighted people told us
The way people in the UK travel is changing rapidly with more pavement obstacles, reduced bus services, and a rise in e-scooters and e-bikes. For blind and partially sighted people, these changes can be exhausting and dangerous. More than half of people with sight loss tell RNIB they want to go out more than they currently do.
Reports and research

Inclusive Journeys: Improving the accessibility of public transport for people with sight loss
Blind and partially sighted people tell us that better accessibility to transport and public places is the most important factor to improve their quality of life. However, many are not able to make the journeys they want to – 1 in 3 rarely or never use public transport. This limits their ability to work and participate in society.
