Accessibility and Travel Research for Young People

Are you a young person in the UK? We need you!

We're looking for young people across the UK to take part in a new research project to talk about challenges or barriers they face when using public transport. We are particularly interested in getting the views of disabled young people.

There are two different avenues of the research that you can apply for:

You could either apply to be a focus group participant. This would be involve taking part in a 1-hour online focus group where you would have the opportunity to share your perspective on difficulties you may face when using public transport. As a thank you for your time and input, you'll receive £30 for taking part.

Or you could apply to be a peer researcher. This means you would be involved in the project across multiple stages, giving your input into the design of the research and analysis of the findings. It would require a total of 7 hours of your time, across several months, and would all be carried out online. You could receive up to £280 for your involvement as a peer researcher.

On your application you can select which phase(s) of the research you would prefer to be considered for.

We are looking to hear from all different perspectives so if you're interested, apply now!

When completing the form please answer carefully and as honestly as possible, there are no right or wrong answers, all answers will be looked at individually when checking that you are applicable for the research.

If it looks like you'll be a fit for the research based on your application, a member of the team will be in touch to go through a couple of questions and see if we can get you booked in to take part.
