Safe Community Bus Ramp Checklist and Guide🌐Translate

Pitch

Written by the team. Not an investment offer and not advice.

Problem

Many rural and community transport users face unsafe or makeshift steps. A checklist and local ramp-building guide could improve safe bus access using available materials.

What they are building

A printed or digital one-page checklist and illustrated guide, created by a small team with input from local volunteers and a mobility aid specialist. Pilot in one rural or community bus route with up to 10 users and 2-3 volunteers over two weeks, using only materials already on hand. Unvalidated hypothesis; full brief: /blog/john-taylor-obituary-2026-11-04 Source: Link

Who it is for

Community transport volunteers, rural bus operators, and local groups serving people with mobility challenges who lack access to professionally installed ramps.

Why it matters

Hypothesis: A locally tailored, step-by-step guide enables safer, more consistent ramp construction than ad hoc improvisation, reducing trip hazards and improving user confidence. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: At least 80% of users and volunteers report improved safety and ease of access compared to previous methods, measured via a short survey after two weeks. Baseline: current improvised ramp use. Success measured by survey responses and incident logs
