Auditing & Compliance

Sterling provides DSAPT (Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport) compliance auditing services for transport facilities, conveyances, and access ways. Our capability encompasses accessibility compliance assessments, gap analysis, remediation prioritisation, and stakeholder liaison with transport operators and regulatory authorities.

DSAPT audits require detailed assessment of passenger journeys from street access through boarding areas, identifying compliance gaps across infrastructure (ramps, tactiles, platforms), facilities (toilets, waiting areas, ticketing), and wayfinding (signage, audio announcements). Sterling has delivered DSAPT audits for rail stations, platform upgrades, and fleet accessibility assessments, demonstrating capability to navigate complex regulatory requirements.

Sterling's integrated service model links auditing with design review, construction supervision, and post-construction verification, ensuring accessibility improvements are delivered to DSAPT compliance and maintaining regulatory approval throughout project delivery.
