Dear Eric Britton,
     
I am delighted to learn from your email of the existence of the "Journal
World 
Transport Policy & Practice".
     
If you have the means to bring out a special year 2000 edition as outlined in 
your email below, please do so.  There is a critical need to highlight the
issue
of accessible public transport policy and practice in as many relevant
forums as
possible.  The means your describe would be excellent and timely.  Transport 
policy makers in the developing countries should have full access to
information
on the costs of not including access features in transport policies and
plans; 
they should not have to repeat the mistakes made, and undone at great
expense, 
by others.
     
I look forward to the edition.
     
San Yuenwah (Ms)
Disability programme/Disadvantaged Groups Section 
United Nations
Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific

Dear Friends,
     
This brings up an awfully tough and in many ways anguishing choice (which I 
don't say so lightly: having my dear mother confined to a wheelchair for the 
last couple fo years has served as a continuing reminder), to which perhaps 
we at the Journal World Transport Policy & Practice could possibly make a 
modest contribution.  Here is an idea.
