The Department for Transport (DfT) said Campbell-Hill would represent and champion the rights and needs of disabled people reliant on the UK’s transport network.
He will work with the DfT to advice government on how best to serve disabled travellers, and ensure new projects are inclusive and accessible to all.
After suffering a spinal injury, Campbell-Hill has over the past decade held a number of government advisory positions, with a particular focus on health technologies, and is a senior fellow at the University of Birmingham.
