Sue Sharp's appointment as Interim Chair of the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee (DPTAC) has been extended until 31 October 2027, or until a permanent chair is named once the public appointment process concludes. The Department for Transport announced the extension on 23 October 2026, noting that the process to find a permanent chair is already underway.

DPTAC advises the government on the transport needs of disabled people, aiming to ensure they can travel safely and independently across all modes of transport. Sharp, a former Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Society for Blind Children, has served on the committee since 2017 and was previously its Deputy Chair.

Because the role is interim, the announcement said she was appointed without competition after consultation with the Commissioner for Public Appointments.
