City of London Street Accessibility Tool

Date updated: 3/12/2024

The City of London Street Accessibility Tool (CoLSAT) enables street designers to easily identify how street features impact on the different needs of disabled people.

It has been developed through in-depth qualitative research with disabled people across a wide spectrum of impairments.

The tool's key feature recognises that the needs of different groups of disabled people can be contradictory; that improving accessibility for one group may decrease accessibility for another. CoLSAT identifies the trade-offs that may be needed to ensure no one is excluded from using the City's streets. It provides the basis for engagement and discussion to maximise the benefits for all.

The tool is an Excel file and is available to download and use. This is the second iteration of COLSAT and it is envisaged that it will be improved in the future through feedback from users and further and deeper engagement with people with protected characteristics.
