These Regulations amend the Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations 2000. Their main effect is to put back the date on which the requirements of paragraph 5(3)(b) to (e) of Schedule 1 (boarding ramps) come into effect from 1st January 2003 to 1st January 2004. They also increase the angle of slope of a fitted wheelchair ramp to a maximum of 8°.
