Description:
The upgrade works (the Project) were completed for the Niagara Park, Ourimbah and Beecroft stations as part of the Transport Access Program (TAP), an NSW Government initiative delivering safe, modern and accessible public transport infrastructure across the state. Providing accessible transport services for everyone in the community is one of the six priorities for Transport for NSW’s Future Transport Strategy. The third tranche of the Transport Access Program, known as TAP 3, seeks to improve access to public transport for those with a disability, limited mobility, and parents and carers with prams.
