The Equality Act 2010 contains a new integrated public sector Equality Duty, which came into force on 5 April 2011. It requires public bodies to have due regard to the following to make society fairer:

• eliminating unlawful discrimination
• advancing equality of opportunity
• fostering good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not

These documents are used by the Department for Transport (DfT) to inform our decision-making. They explain the work being done to comply with the general Equality Duty. They include research being undertaken by DfT and external bodies.
