Accessible Transportation
Accessible transportation refers to systems and services designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities, ensuring they can travel safely and independently. This includes features like wheelchair ramps, designated seating, and audio-visual announcements on buses and trains. The goal is to remove barriers that prevent people from using public transit.
In addition to public transport, accessible transportation also encompasses services like paratransit, which provides door-to-door transport for those who cannot use standard transit options. By improving accessibility, communities can enhance mobility for everyone, fostering inclusivity and equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their physical abilities.
